Nostromo aka nhttpd is a simple, fast and secure HTTP server. It runs as a single process, handling connections with select(2). For CGIs and directory listing it does fork(2). The minimum of HTTP/1.1 and CGI/1.1 are implemented. Also supported are: chroot, setuid, basic authentication, SSL, IPv6, custom responses, aliases, and virtual hosts. The access log is written in standard CLF format.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
