Nhttpd/Nostromo Web Server Configuration for Werc
==================================================
Contributed by nsz, thanks!
The last two sections are relevant: aliases (to make non-content site material,
like css, available) and virtual hosts (the document root is set to `werc.rc`
so it will handle every request).
# MAIN [MANDATORY]
servername main.host.com
serveradmin admin[at]mail.com
serverroot /var/nostromo
servermimes conf/mimes
logpid logs/nhttpd.pid
logaccess logs/access_log
docroot /var/nostromo/htdocs
docindex index.html
# SETUID [RECOMMENDED]
user nhttpd
# BASIC AUTHENTICATION [OPTIONAL]
#...
# SSL [OPTIONAL]
#...
# CUSTOM RESPONSES [OPTIONAL]

# HOMEDIRS [OPTIONAL]
#...
# ALIASES [OPTIONAL]
/pub /path/to/werc/pub
# The following line doesn't work because nhttpd doesn't support file aliases yet.

# VIRTUAL HOSTS [OPTIONAL]
vhost1.com /path/to/werc/bin/werc.rc
vhost2.com /path/to/werc/bin/werc.rc
#...
To use werc on `main.host.com` as well just set `docroot` to `/path/to/werc/bin/werc.rc`
and set `docindex` to empty string.
There was a bug in nhttpd <=1.9, it did not set `SERVER_NAME` properly (left it `main.host.com`).
To solve this problem just add a
SERVER_NAME=$HTTP_HOST
line somewhere at the top of `werc.rc`.
