* Small! (125k static Linux-x86 binary with HTTP, FTP and SMB support) * Fast! (measure for yourself, please) * Scalable! (see this document, measured using tools that are included in the gatling distribution. * Uses platform-specific performance and scalability APIs on Linux 2.4, Linux 2.6, NetBSD current (2.0+), FreeBSD 4+, OpenBSD 3.4+, Solaris 9+, AIX 5L, IRIX 6.5+, MacOS X Panther+, HP-UX 11+ * connection keep-alive * el-cheapo virtual domains (similar to thttpd) * IPv6 support * Content-Range * transparent content negotiation (will serve foo.html.gz if foo.html was asked for and browser indicates it understands deflate) * With optional directory index generation * Will only serve world readable files (so you don't export files accidentally) * Supports FTP and FTP upload as well (upload only to world writable directories and the files won't be downloadable unless you chmod a+r them manually) * CGI support for HTTP, also SCGI and FastCGI (over IP sockets, not Unix Domain yet) * El-cheapo .htaccess support (see README.htaccess) * Quick-and-dirty SSL/TLS support (see README.tls) * Can detect some common mime types itself, like file(1) * Read-only SMB support (good enough to read a specific file from Windows or using smbclient from Samba) > Also: > > jack:~$ w3m -dump http://www.fefe.de/gatling > No such file or directory.
