SWS(8) System Manager's Manual SWS(8) NAME sws - Simple | Small | Safe Web Server SYNOPSIS sws DESCRIPTION sws is a simple web server written in /bin/sh. It should be able to run out of inetd on any Unix, Linux, or BSD system. It provides direc- tory indexing and serving of files under the document dir. The default document directory is /usr/local/sws/docs/, this may be changed at in- stall time by editing the config area at the top of the program. Di- rectory indexing may also be turned off by changing the vlaue of DOIN- DEX to anything other than yes in the config section of the program. sws prevents escaping the document directory tree and also ignores any trailing information after the URL to prevent compromise of the system on which it is running. sws will serve only static pages. It has no provision for cgi pro- grams. EXAMPLE A sample inetd.conf entry for sws http stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/sws sws DEPENDS ON sws requires /bin/sh, dirname, cat, and date to function. These should be found on any modern POSIX system. AUTHOR Brett Wynkoop - wynkoop@wynn.com LICENSE sws is released under the BSD license.
