The Althttpd Webserver

I came across a reference to Althttpd while reading through some of the Fossil [0] documentation. I'm always amazed at how robust and simple SQLite and its related technologies are.

From the page:

> As of 2018, the althttpd instance for sqlite.org answers about 500,000 HTTP requests per day (about 5 or 6 per second) delivering about 50GB of content per day (about 4.6 megabits/second) on a $40/month Linode. The load average on this machine normally stays around 0.1 or 0.2. About 19% of the HTTP requests are CGI to various Fossil source-code repositories.
