It supports keep-alive, +pipelining, basic authentication, kernel-mode file transfer (sendfile() +through nixio), address and hostname based virtual hosts, custom 404 pages, +E-Tags, conditional headers, directory indexing and partial file transfers. + + +*** Workflow *** +After receiving an incoming connection from LuCId, the slave parses the request +and prepares the environment for the acion handler. After that the virtual host +will be dispatched and the request will be passed on to the respective handler. +The handler will enforce access restrictions if configured and then returns a +status code a set of response headers, as well as a content resource that will +be sent to the user.
