is small, fast and easy to use web server with CGI, SSL, MD5 authorization,
and basic SSI support.
.Pp
.Nm
does not detach from terminal, and uses current working directory
as the web root, unless
.Fl root
.Fl r
option is specified.

It is possible to specify multiple ports to listen on. For example, to make
mongoose listen on HTTP port 80 and HTTPS port 443, one should start it as:
.Nm
listen on HTTP port 80 and HTTPS port 443, one should start it as
.Dq mongoose -ssl_cert cert.pem -ports 80,443s .
.Pp
Options may be specified in any order, with one exception: if SSL listening
port is specified in the -ports option, then -ssl_cert option must be set
before -ports option.
.Fl s Ar cert.pem Fl p Ar 80,443s
.Pp
Unlike other web servers,
.Nm
does not expect CGI scripts to be put in a special directory. CGI scripts may
be anywhere. CGI files are recognized by the file extension.
.Pp
SSI files are also recognized by extension. Unknown SSI directives are silently
ignored. Currently, two SSI directives supported, "include" and "exec". For the
"include" directive, included file name can be specified in three different
ways. Below is the summary of supported SSI directives:
.Bl -bullet
.It
<!--#exec "shell command"--> Execute shell command.
.It
<!--#include "path"--> File path must be relative to the current document.
.It
<!--#include virtual="path"--> File path must be relative to the document root.
.It
<!--#include file="path"--> File path must be the absolute path.
.El
does not expect CGI scripts to be put in a special directory. CGI scripts can
be anywhere. CGI (and SSI) files are recognized by the file extension.
.Pp
If no arguments are given,
.Nm
can use the configuration file. By default, it is "mongoose.conf", and if it
is present in the same directory where
.Nm
lives, the command line options are read from it. Alternatively, the
configuration file may be specified as a last argument. The format of the
configuration file is exactly the same as for the command line options, the
only difference is that the command line options must be specified on
separate lines, and leading dashes for option names must be omitted.
Lines beginning with '#' are regarded as comments and ignored.
searches for a configuration file called "mongoose.conf" in the same directory
where mongoose binary is located. Alternatively, a file name could be
specified in the command line. Format of the configuration file is the same
as for the command line options except that each option must be specified
on a separate line, leading dashes for option names must be omitted.
Lines beginning with '#' and empty lines are ignored.
