A tiny minimal web server. If the server is started as root, the server does setuid() to a user and setgid() to a group. If the uid and the gid is not found, the server will NOT start. However if you start it as a non-root user (may be you) the server won't try to switch effective uid to any other user rather it will do things with the power of the person starting it. You may need to start as root if you want bind to a low port (below 1024) number. The default port it listens is 9090.
To make it a a secure server compile with -DUSE_SSL=1.
