hehe.. didn't see your answer. i did set up nginx last night as a reverse proxy doing also ssl. it does basic http authentication to protect app server realms behind it. each realm has different authorization levels. btw... the app server is tjws.

Give http://nginx.org/ a try. It's a actually a real, production-ready web-server, but given it's great performance and memory footprint (few MB) it may fit on your system. And of course, it can do all you need.

hi! i'm currently working with a linux embedded system (armv5l, debian lenny) running a http app server. it's going to be accessible via internet for testing soon. i wanna do some preparations before sending it into the wild. that's about what i want: firewall -> http front-end (encryption,authentication, http specifics) -> app server (authorization, app server blafoo).

my question: can someone suggest an open source http front-end for this task? i'd like it to be fast, secure and lightweight. i'll need at least vhosts, tls and http forwarding to the app server.

i had a look at thttp and dhttpd and they match my requirements more or less.

thx, amir
