Could anyone suggest a - preferably free and open source - embeddable web server?

I've been looking at Boa and shttpd. Does anyone have experience using those?

I would prefer small and fast over a rich feature set. ANSI C is preferable as well.

I don't know about such thing, but I remember that one of our programmers added a webserver into our debugging/tool system (so a programmer was able to connect to a runing game at the tester / graphican machine and look at the debug-logs).

Took a day from scratch.

It was by no means full featured and foolproof, but it worked pretty well. We also used it as as admin console in a network game without much changes.

Yeah, as I've looked into it, there really isn't much to do. It's just a matter of parsing a few HTTP headers. I want it embedded directly into the app too, so I don't even need a CGI interface.

I'll probably go with shttpd since it is working flawlessly so far. Thanks.
