thttp is an open source web server from ACME Laboratories, designed for simplicity, a small execution footprint and speed. thttpd is single-threaded and portable, it compiles cleanly on most Unix-like OS, including FreeBSD, SunOS 4, Solaris 2, BSD/OS, Linux, and OSF. While it can be used as a simplified replacement to more feature-rich servers, it is uniquely suited to service high volume requests for static data—for example as an image hosting server. The first "t" in thttpd stands for variously tiny, turbo, or throttling.
