tinyhttp是一个最简单的web服务器，实现了web服务器的基本原理。代码全部使用C语言开发，只有500多行，阅读代码，可以了解web服务器的基本原理。
下载连接：http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyhttpd/
下载后，编译时会遇到问题。在Makefile中，执行编译脚本为：
gcc -W -Wall -lsocket -lpthread -o httpd httpd.c
其中lsocket是不需要的，因为作者开发时用的Linux版本和我不同，我使用了Ubuntu Server，不需要这个选线。
-lpthread应该替换为-pthread，具体原因参考这里。
还有一些警告，是因为参数类型的问题。
在我编译后，运行时发现主页打不开。使用GDB调试，断点加在fork后的子进程，在GDB模式要设置:set follow-fork mode child，这样执行fork后GDB才会调试子进程。最后才发现index.html有执行权限，需要去掉这个权限才行。

/* This program compiles for Sparc Solaris 2.6.
* To compile for Linux:
* 1) Comment out the #include <pthread.h> line.
* 2) Comment out the line that defines the variable newthread.
* 3) Comment out the two lines that run pthread_create().
* 4) Uncomment the line that runs accept_request().
* 5) Remove -lsocket from the Makefile.
