lighttpd  (pronounced  'lighty')  is  an advanced HTTP daemon that aims to be secure, fast, compliant and
       very flexible.  It has been optimized for high performance.  Its feature set includes, but is not limited
       to, FastCGI, CGI, basic and digest HTTP authentication, output compression, URL rewriting.

       This manual page only lists the command line arguments.  For details on how to configure lighttpd and its
       modules see the files in the doc-directory.
