db-httpd

The db-enabled shell HTTP server

About

db-httpd is a little inetd daemon coded as example for an article about inetd daemon programming.

It's able to serve contents from disk and from ndbm databases. The server itself it's a little sh script easy to understand (I hope) and modify.

It uses a service program coded in C to handle ndbm databases. A tool to create databases is also provided.

This daemon is not secure for a production environment due it's vulnerable to DoS attacks. Be careful if you use it ;-)
