What is pico Server?

Pico Server is a small web server. It is meant to be portable and configurable.

• small, portable
• fast
• CGI-BIN support
• auto-indexing of directories
• access and error logging (see p-reporter for an analyzer)
• forking or single-connection at choice

Pico Server (pServ) is written in portable C (K&R style so it can compile on older compilers too) and sports several options that by means of #define statements can customize the behavior, the perfomance and the feature set so to be able to fit better the the requisites.

P-Reporter

P-reporter is the matched log-analzer for pServ. It analyzes the generated logs and outputs a statistic report in HTML.

Supported Platforms:

So how portable is this thing really? I hope a lot, there should not be architecture specific problems. So once an Operating System works it should do independently from the CPU. If you have problems feel free to report! Personally I have compiled it to:

• *BSD: NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD
• AIX
• IRIX
• HP-UX
• Darwin/OS and MacOS-X
• Solaris
• Linux

If you ported pServ to other platforms and wish them added here or have comments about porting, please let me know.
