Looking for open-source http servers

Question

Hi, all

I'm looking for open-source http servers as benchmarks for my OS, which should satisfy:

1. It folks several processes to handle http requests (not threads or I/O multiplexing)
2. It can be compiled statically, which means no run-time code link like dynamic libraries.

Is there any satisfied httpd? Thanks for your replies.

Answer 1

Apache should be fine -- it can be configured in either multi-process or multi-thread ways, after all, and of course it can be built with all static links!

Apache's crucial because it's the most popular one, but maybe you should also look at nginx which is also deservedly popular (though still a niche player compared to Apache) and focused on one-master, many-workers processes architecture.

Answer 2

Have you tryed LightHttpd, small fast and simple ;-)
