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, or it can be run with no configuration at all, thanks to the reasonable defaults. 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, and uses it if it is present.
Configuration file is a sequence of lines, each line containing
command line option name and it's value. Empty lines, and lines beginning
with #, are ignored. Here is the example of mongoose.conf file:
# mongoose.conf file
document_root c:\www
listening_ports 8080,8043s
ssh_certificate c:\mongoose\ssl_cert.pem
