Sorry for a late reply. I've just installed mini-httpd and it does work with dwww, however you need to enable CGI support by adding "cgipat=cgi-bin/*" to its config file. I couldn't find the lighthttpd package in Debian, thus don't have any idea why it didn't work for you. > There may be ways to configure the others but I'm not a WWW expert, just > someone who wants a unified doc reader on a laptop (which is why I'm not > using Apache2.)

Since mini-httpd announces itself as a CGI-capable server it should have CGI enabled by default. Regards, Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
