hmm, Well, so, forgive my bluntness, in a nutshell, there is no in-kernel (un-proprietory) HTTP Server. Also, as John said, it is very useful in some situations. As you visit the kHTTPD website at: http://www.fenrus.demon.nl/ You will see how much performance it offers, compared to userland web servers. I don't mean polluting the kernel with this kind of stuff, but I wouldn't mind having an in-kernel HTTP Accelerator (for static pages). Nothing so fancy, but, just to do its job, which it is good at: "Providing static pages". Anyway, I don't mean that people have to make it. I know I talk to too much, and do less, :), but I will start a project at SourceForge, unless somebody has better options. ;) In a nutshell, it is better to have an in-kernel web server, as some people might like using it, even though it doesn't matter what we say, hehe :) Thanks, Regards, -- Hiten Pandya -- The JFS4BSD Project -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
