## Summary:

			       ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
				SIMPLE-HTTPD
			       ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


  A simple Emacs web server.

  This used to be `httpd.el' but there are already several of these out
  there already of varying usefulness. The server can serve files,
  directory listings and custom servlets. Client requests are sanitized,
  but the server is vulnerable to denial of service attacks, so it should
  only be used for local development or automation. We make no guarantees
  regarding security.

  This package is available on [MELPA] and [ELPA].
