Hiawatha is a web server available for multiple platforms. It has been developed by Hugo Leisink since 2002. ==History== Hiawatha started in January 2002 as a small web server, suitable for servers with old hardware. Leisink, a computer science student at the time, initially created the server to support Internet servers in student houses in Delft of South Holland, the Netherlands. As the server was designed with improved security as its focus, Leisink states that "there are a lot of security features in Hiawatha you won't find in any other webserver."〔 The author has said "I know for a long time that vulnerabilities (in other web servers ) . (thing ) that bothers me: the runtime of a CGI. A CGI process (other web servers ) can run forever. A single CGI script can DoS a webserver. A system administrator is needed to kill the script. And what about a client (hacker ) that keeps on guessing passwords for HTTP authentication? These kind of issues inspired me to create Hiawatha, with settings for maximum request sending time, maximum CGI run time, client banning, etc. Features that, in my opinion, every daemon should have." The January 2009 edition of Linux Magazine included an article on the Hiawatha web server, describing it as "a light web server with good performance and some innovative security functions."〔(Linux Magazine )〕 Hiawatha is frequently cited as a lightweight alternative to Apache, as it prioritizes easy installation and reduced storage over including many other additional features. ;Important releases: * 1.0: September 2002.
