Overview -------- Mongoose is small and easy to use web server. It is self-contained, and does not require any external software to run. Mongoose can be configured via command line options, or via configuration file. If no command line options are given, mongoose searches for a configuration file called "mongoose.conf" in the same directory where mongoose binary is located. Configuration file is a sequence of lines, each line containing command line option name and it's value. Lines beginning with '#' and empty lines are ignored. Here is # mongoose.conf file document_root c:\www listening_ports 8080,8043s ssh_certificate c:\mongoose\ssl_cert.pem Usage Examples -------------- - How to share a Windows folder Command Line Options -------------------- Common Problems --------------- Embedding --------- Other Resources --------------- - Presentation made by Arnout Vandecappelle at FOSDEM 2011 on 2011-02-06 in Brussels, Belgium, called "Creating secure web based user interfaces for Embedded Devices" ([pdf](http://mind.be/content/110206_Web-ui.pdf) | [odp](http://mind.be/content/110206_Web-ui.odp)) - Linux Journal article by Michel J.Hammel, 2010-04-01, called [Mongoose: an Embeddable Web Server in C](http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/10680)
