This is a simple http server for purely static content. You can
use it to serve the content of a ftp server via http for example.
It is also nice to export some files quickly by starting an http
server in a few seconds without editing a config file first.
Features/Design:
================
* single process: select() + non-blocking I/O
* automatically generates directory listings when asked for a
directory (check for index.html available as option), caches
the listings.
* no config file, just a few switches. Try "webfsd -h" for a
list.
* Uses ${PREFIX}/etc/webfsd/mime.types to map file extentions
to mime/types (not included).
* supports keep-alive and pipelined requests.
* serves byte ranges.
* optional logging in common log file format.
