Actually you can use Apache 1.3. I have a deployed system based on Etch,
Apache 1.3, and a recompiled version of your package, and it streams
just fine. If I remember correctly, I needed to switch from nph-zms to
just plain zms. The one side effect of this switch is that if you have a
montage of more than two streams being displayed by firefox then you'll
only see two streams unless you change the max number of persistent
connections in firefox.

In regards to lighttpd, yes it seems to be fully functional. I can view
streams perfectly well, although I haven't tested this with more than
two streams. With lighttpd it isn't necessary to switch to plain zms,
although given that zms and nph-zms are the same this might not mean
much.

I don't have any particular desire to run zoneminder on lighttpd, I just
wanted to test whether there were any actual dependencies on Apache or
mod-php as opposed to php-cgi. I did need to run it on Apache 1.3 as 2.2
was giving me problems(on etch haven't tried unstable).

I'm willing to give you access to my lighttp test server, but I won't
have a chance to configure external access until monday at the earliest.
If you know of any other issues that need to be looked at, I'd be
interested in knowing.
