httpd(8) (∞)

For a long time OpenBSD used a patched version of Apache httpd. After that, nginx was imported into base, but even that was still too big for the base system.

Reyk Floeter and Pierre-Yves Ritschard wrote a minimal HTTP server, which replaced all externally developed http servers in the base system for OpenBSD release 5.6.

server "www.example.com" {
    alias "example.com"
    listen on * port 80
    listen on * tls port 443
    root "/htdocs/www.example.com"
}
