+CONFIG_KHTTPD
+ The kernel httpd acceleration daemon (kHTTPd) is a (limited) web
+ server built into the kernel. It is limited since it can only serve
+ files from the file system and cannot deal with executable content
+ such as CGI scripts. Serving files is sped up if you use kHTTPd.
+ If kHTTPd is not able to fulfill a request, it can transparently
+ pass it through to a user space web server such as apache.
+
+ Saying "M" here builds the kHTTPd module; this is NOT enough to have
+ a working kHTTPd. For safety reasons, the module has to be activated
+ by doing a "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/khttpd/start" after inserting the
+ module.
+
+ Before using this, read the README in net/khttpd !
+
+ The kHTTPd is experimental. Be careful when using it on a production
+ machine. Also note that kHTTPd doesn't support virtual servers yet.
