+XS-HTTPD is a WWW server that has the following features:
+
+- It is pronounced as "access-HTTP-daemon"
+- It is SMALL (very small in fact: a factor two to three smaller than
+  normal servers on disk and in memory)
+- It is FAST (because it is so small and does not do unnecessary things)
+- Uses very little CPU time
+- Configurable (configuration compiled in to make it small, but largely
+  overridable on the command line)
+- Runs user CGI binaries under their own user ID
+- Gets users' pages under their own user ID, allowing them to really
+  have protected pages (using the built-in authentication mechanism)
+- Does not fork for every connection (has a fixed number of servers),
+  only to replace a lost server (in case of timeouts).
+- Comes with some other useful programs
+- Offers Server-Side Includes for many common tasks, including built-in
+  page counters (text or graphical)
+- Supports PHP and other interpreted file formats
+- Supports automatic decompression to save diskspace and bandwidth
+- Serves SSL (https) and http connections through the same daemon
+- Full support for IPv6
