Yeah - except that I don't *need* HTTPS, virtual hosting, customisable
HTTP error pages, multi-level access control with permission seperation,
complex logging facilities, the ability to run as a background service,
or any of the myriad of other stuff that a "real" HTTP server needs to
have. I just need something to run CGI binaries.

I had a look here this morning. Sadly, almost everything requires you to
"install" it before you can use it. I was hoping for a single executable
solution.

Hmm. Seems to work perfectly, except for two things:
1. For some reason, it takes about 45 seconds to start up. No CPU usage,
no network activity, it just seems to hang for 45 seconds. And then it
works normally.
2. It seems to be able to run CGI *scripts*, but not compiled,
executable binary programs. I'm still frobbing the configuration file,
but it's not looking good...

OK, *finally*...
Create a small file called Foo.cgi that simply contains the line
#!Foo.exe
and *at last* the server does what I want it to!

Yeah. He wants a web server without installing a web server.

In KDE, in any kioslaves-enabled application (like the Konqueror browser),
you can use cgi:/home/invisible/mycgiapp as a URL and it will just work :)

Apparently this server only checks the extensions of the files, so you
could just rename Foo.exe to Foo.cgi I suppose. Or better still, launch
shttpd with the appropriate option telling it that .exe are CGI files:
shttpd -cgi_ext "exe"
Seems to work on my linux box with any arbitrary extension...

I tried that, but it doesn't work. If it's .cgi, it "checks the first
line of text to determine what interpretter to run".

Also tried that and it didn't work.
The hack above does, however, work.

You got a web server and you didn't install it? How can that work?
