This is a port of OpenBSD's httpd to GNU/Linux.
It's been tested on aarch64 Fedora 41 and amd64 Debian 13 (testing), and basic functionality is good.
This project's Debian requirements are
- git
- bmake
- byacc
- groff
- libc6-dev
- libbsd-dev
- libtls-dev
- libssl-dev
- libevent-dev
For other distributions, it's similar.
To build, run
./patch.sh && bmake
This will
- fetch the OpenBSD src repo (which is big!),
- copy the necessary files from it,
- patch those files to work on Linux,
- and build the httpd.
The changes necessary to get the port working shouldn't change functionality, except a few:
- The CLI flags having to do with TCP SACK are disabled, because they rely on
setsockoptflags that aren't present on Linux. - All references to network interface groups are patched out, because I don't think they're available on Linux.
pledgeis OpenBSD-specific, so I#defineit to 0.
