tar xzf thttpd-2.29.tar.gz

eventually add index without extension. note index.cgi is already in the list

vi config.h

#define INDEX_NAMES "index", "index.html", "index.htm", "index.xhtml", "index.xht", "Default.htm", "index.cgi"

eventually make text/html the default for serving files w/o extension

vi libhttpd.c

char* default_type = "text/html; charset=%s";

build

./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
echo $MAKEFLAGS
