 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -.Nm
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -is small, fast and easy to use web server with CGI, SSL, MD5 authorization,
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -and basic SSI support.

 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -does not detach from terminal, and uses current working directory
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -as the web root, unless
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -.Fl r
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -option is specified.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -It is possible to specify multiple ports to listen on. For example, to make
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -mongoose listen on HTTP port 80 and HTTPS port 443, one should start it as:

				|  |  | -Unlike other web servers,
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -.Nm
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -does not require CGI scripts be put in a special directory. CGI scripts can
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -be anywhere. CGI (and SSI) files are recognized by the file name pattern.
