See my earlier email.

bozohttpd last time I looked and asked about did not do access logging. (I 
don't see that in the source in our src/libexec/httpd either.)

So I use BSD-licensed mini_httpd instead which does do logging. mini_httpd 
runs as a standalone chrooted daemon.

Now I see that bozohttpd supports standalone daemon mode and inetd mode.

Once it has logging, it will be great.

I think it is fine in NetBSD src as it will have more developers to work 
on it.

I think a statement needs to be written that defines the goals and 
purposes of NetBSD's httpd to keep out the bloat.
