Introduction
Hiawatha
is an open source webserver with a focus on security. I started
Hiawatha in January 2002. Before that time, I had used several
webservers, but I didn't like them. They had unlogical, almost cryptic
configuration syntax and none of them gave me a good feeling about their
security and robustness. So, I decided it was time to write my own
webserver. I never thought that my webserver would become what it is
today, but I enjoyed working on it and liked to have my own open source
project. In the years that followed, Hiawatha became a fully functional
webserver.
Project goals
Because of
my great interest in IT security, I paid extra attention to security
while I was working on Hiawatha. Beside all the default security
measures you can expect from a modern webserver, there are a lot of
security features in Hiawatha you won't find in any other webserver.
Many of them started as an experiment, but in the meantime, most of them
have proven to be very usefull.
A second thing
I wanted my webserver to be is easy-to-use. This resulted in a readable
configuration syntax and not having to be a HTTP or CGI expert in order
to get Hiawatha running.

You
can also read my testimony of Hiawatha on how we reduced excessive and
abusive bandwidth usage on our server from over 1000 GB/day to 40
GB/day.
