Surfboard httpd1.1.10 ReleasedThurs May 13, 2004 This release fixes another security hole, also reported on
Bugtraq (is there really anyone who uses this software, apart from
for the purpose of pointing and laughing at me?). Available
on the release page.
What is it?Surfboard is a trivial web server, written by Meredydd Luff. It's free (released under the GNU General Public Licence - www.gnu.org, see COPYING.txt). It's not really industrial strength, so if you want a web server that will do everything, my advice is to make a beeline for www.apache.org for the Apache web server. However, if you want a small, reasonably flexible web server, you might as well give it a try. The download won't be much (it's only one C file!), and it is very reliable at what it does HistoryThe original Surfboard (v0.5x) was a (very) simple and kludgily written web server. It was basically me playing with network programming. However, it has been completely rewritten as of version 0.8. Take a peek at the releases section for a full history and changelog. Old news1.1.8 ReleasedThurs April 12, 2001 Nothing huge here, just minor improvements. I'm laying the foundations for HTTP POST support, so unless there's an urgent bugfix I need to do, the next release will be the biggie - POST support! Because of the need to implement miscellaneous headers to make POST work, authentication should start working then too, but no promises... Uploading complete!After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I have finally got the entire site uploaded to sourceforge. Enjoy! First CGI beta release (1.1.0)I now have nearly complete CGI 1.1 compliance. The bad bit? I've still got quite a few unset variables to deal with. This site is currently running it, as it seems quite bug-free...we'll see about that. Sooner than I'd like, most probably... See the releases section. |
