Also, as John said, it is very useful in some situations. As you visit the kHTTPD website at: http://www.fenrus.demon.nl/ You will see how much performance it offers, compared to=20 userland web servers. I don't mean polluting the kernel with this kind of stuff, but I wouldn't mind having an in-kernel HTTP Accelerator (for static pages). Nothing so fancy, but, just to do its job, which it is good at: "Providing static pages". Anyway, I don't mean that people have to make it. I know I talk to too much, and do less, :), but I will start a project at SourceForge, unless somebody has better options. ;) In a nutshell, it is better to have an in-kernel web server, as some people might like using it, even though it doesn't matter what we say, hehe :) Thanks, Regards, -- Hiten Pandya -- The JFS4BSD Project -- <hiten@uk.FreeBSD.org> --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8cC6Phh1dveTjA8MRAkU8AJ4klBV9jSCaB+1uw7qDGtdsMv48xwCgpFv+ EUuApkPGq4Fudl5Jo5F6Hnc= =HVJS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
