    Yup, publicfile contains both an anonymous ftp server
    and a http server. (They're completely separate
    processes, same tarball.)

    I've used publicfile for FTP for anon ftp a long time,
    and it's rock solid. The http server, while sufficient
    for flat files (and it supports virtual hosts) doesn't
    do any dynamic content and has a horrible logging format.
    You can patch either with 3rd party patches, but I haven't
    had a chance to audit those patches, and would rather go
    with Apache that has been heavily audited than take a solid
    piece of DJB code and add in something untrusted.
