    • Name and port based virtual hosts

    • Directory browsing
    • inetd support and SSL via external helpers

      Awesome. Did you download and take it for a spin? Is the performance as good as the benchmarks they published?

      I tried getting it to work under Windows, but didn’t have much luck. I’ll try it out over the weekend at home under Linux to see if it works there.

      I’ll have to downgrade my PHP though. Nanoweb is written in PHP4.
