.Sh NAME

.Nd lightweight web server
|

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|

|
.Fl A Ar htpasswd_file domain_name user_name password
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is small, fast and easy to use web server with CGI, SSL, Digest Authorization
|
|
support.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not detach from terminal, and uses current working directory
|
|
as the web root, unless
|
|
.Fl root
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible to specify multiple ports to listen on. For example, to
|
|
make
|
|
.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.
|
|
.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
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.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.

|
|
minus means deny. If subnet mask is
|
|
omitted, like "-1.2.3.4", then it means single IP address. Mask may vary

option, and in the EXAMPLES section on how to do it. Default: not set.
|
|
.It Fl aliases Ar list
|
|
This options gives an ability to serve the directories outside web root

.Sh EMBEDDING

was designed to be embeddable into C/C++ applications. Since the
|
|
source code is contained in single C file, it is fairly easy to embed it,
|
|
and to follow the updates. Please refer to http://code.google.com/p/mongoose
|
|
for details.
