I did a build of lighttpd that includes support for ssl and webdav. Still the only additional library needed to start the server is libpcre, so that's pretty cool. I haven't tested those features yet, but I'm particularly interested in seeing how dav works.

The current uncompressed size of everything I have at the moment is 1.2mb. As long as the compressed package is floppy-sized or smaller I'll be satisfied with it. I still have some test pages to add, but it shouldn't get much larger than it is right now.

(yeah...already compared monkey...hated it immediately due to extreme lack of documentation

)

Only documentation it has is in /opt/monkey/conf/* -files.

Hey...that's actually very good documentation. I didn't expect to find any useful docs in DSL due to size limitations, so I didn't bother to look. Instead I went to the monkey website and the monkey source package, both of which would normally be the most reliable places for core documentation of most apps. Sadly, there was nothing...absolutely NOTHING about basic monkey configuration in either place.

The conf files in DSL are very well commented.

k....getting those additional modules working is more trouble than I wanted to go through, so I went back to the default build.
Still have some testing to do, and learning how some of the features work...

You can't browse pages on monkey server if you clicked a link from another server and you browser sends referer information.

I think you misinterpreted the bug. Monkey closes the connection if either the GET request or the referer header has a "?" in it. There are other characters which will also cause it to do that. Does the other server's web page have a "?" in it?

You're not going to believe this, but that bug has been fixed. Last April, someone put a patch up at sourceforge. Problem is, the last release of monkey was April. Not last April, mind you, but the one before.

Here's a link to bug report and patch. Incorporating it would mean downloading source, modifying it with patch, and recompiling. And no, I haven't tested it myself.

But there's good news. Since last April, version 0.9.2 is coming soon. :laugh:
