Talking about small: `/bin/busybox httpd`

I goes without saying that this is not meant to be web-facing.

Most things are explained in the --help output but the config file
format is only explained in a source code comment. See below:

httpd.conf has the following format:

H:/serverroot     # define the server root. It will override -h
A:172.20.         # Allow address from 172.20.0.0/16
A:10.0.0.0/25     # Allow any address from 10.0.0.0-10.0.0.127
A:10.0.0.0/255.255.255.128  # Allow any address that previous set
A:127.0.0.1       # Allow local loopback connections
D:*               # Deny from other IP connections
E404:/path/e404.html # /path/e404.html is the 404 (not found) error page
I:index.html      # Show index.html when a directory is requested

P:/url:[http://]hostname[:port]/new/path
          # When /urlXXXXXX is requested, reverse proxy
          # it to http://hostname[:port]/new/pathXXXXXX

/cgi-bin:foo:bar
          # Require user foo, pwd bar on urls starting with /cgi-bin/
/adm:admin:setup
          # Require user admin, pwd setup on urls starting with /adm/
adm:toor:PaSsWd  # or user toor, pwd PaSsWd on urls starting with /adm/
.au:audio/basic   # additional mime type for audio.au files
*.php:/path/php   # run xxx.php through an interpreter

A/D may be as a/d or allow/deny - only first char matters.
Deny/Allow IP logic:
- Default is to allow all (Allow all (A:*) is a no-op).
- Deny rules take precedence over allow rules.
- "Deny all" rule (D:*) is applied last.

Florian Philipp
