    We use for such purpose http://linux.bytesex.org/misc/webfs.html .
It features both (reasonable) performance (threaded), security
(chroot, SSL) and simplicity (can be statically linked, can be
controlled solely from arguments).

    For example (or add -d for debugging):
~~~~
webfsd -F -p 80 -r .
