Savant is a full-featured open source web server. Savant is fast, easy-to-use, secure and most of all, it's free.
Savant uses an optimized server core designed to service HTTP requests as fast as your network connection will allow. Under test conditions, a copy of Savant running on a 350 MHz Pentium II served over 100 simultaneous connections with less than a few milliseconds of time elapsing between the client request and the server response.
Advanced security protection is provided by watchdog processes built into the Savant system that detect and block activity that could compromise server security.
Savant limits itself to using a precise amount of your computer's system resources, preventing malicious attempts to cause system instability.
Savant also carefully monitors CGI scripts and password-protected directories for attempted hacking. Savant is installed by an industry-standard graphical InstallShield script, making software installation a snap.
Savant is configured using a graphical utility instead of messy configuration files and command line options, and provides a graphical control console window that allows you to control Savant and watch user activity in real-time. Just in case you run into problems, Savant comes with extensive online documentation.
