$(PACKAGE) - $(SUMMARY)

rws is a small, fast web server written in C. It uses the pthrlib threading/server library and the c2lib library of Perl-like basics for C. These make it amongst the smallest, fastest and most straightforwardly written web servers available now.

As of version 1.0.11, the stripped binary is 27K and size reports: 

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  24332     828      88   25248    62a0 rwsd

Of course, most of the magic is in pthrlib.

It supports a fairly minimal set of features so far:

There is extensive documentation and a tutorial here.

You must install the latest pthrlib and c2lib libraries first!

News

Sat Feb 8 17:00:47 GMT 2003: Ported to Solaris, OpenBSD and FreeBSD (thanks to Jeremy Sowden and Richard Baker for help and equipment). Added a test script which actually starts up and runs rws and verifies static file serving, CGI scripts and shared object scripts. Added -ldl to LIBS (thanks to jeffrey at box-sol.com). Build fixes for RH 7.3.

Sun Dec 8 16:07:20 GMT 2002: Enabled debugging and optimisations. Converted to use make+. Changed to support changes in the pthrlib API. The -f option prevents the server from changing directory as well. More descriptive thread names. Give idle threads a different name.

Mon Nov 25 09:31:37 GMT 2002: Added a symbols file for full symbol resolution in monolith. Added debian/conffiles so that Debian package won't splat configuration files. Changed process_rq to set thread name to the canonical path (useful for debugging, stats). Set a maximum number of requests that we will service with a single thread. Enable stack traces.

Sun Nov 17 23:31:32 GMT 2002: Debian packages. Added MSP files. rws_request_* symbols are now in a separate library. Added rwsd.1 manual page. RWS now forces connection close on bad requests. Multiple fixes to the way directories/subdirectories are handled. exec_so catches pth_die exceptions and prints a message. More rewrite fixes. Change the default root to /var/www. Added postinst script for Debian.

Thu Nov 14 15:33:29 GMT 2002: Major checkpoint release for Monolith.

Sun Oct 20 14:57:29 BST 2002: Allow empty entries in rws configuration file. Correct compilation flags for PCRE. Allow the stack size to be selected from the configuration file. Fixed path parsing. Added include files to RPM. Added example MSP configuration to configuration file.

Tue Oct 15 23:40:42 BST 2002: Multiple bug fixes.

Sun Oct 13 19:04:16 BST 2002: Added -a, -d and -f flags which allow you to run the server on only a single interface and make it simpler to debug. (Thanks to Steve Atkins, steve at blighty com, for this patch). You need the most recent pthrlib.

Sun Oct 6 13:00:39 BST 2002: New rewrite module allows comprehensive URL rewriting. Updated to use the newest version of c2lib.

Sat Sep 7 15:51:10 BST 2002: Packages are now available as i686 binary RPMs and source RPMs.
