supports multiple HTTP and HTTPS servers, each containing multiple
virtual hosts.
Each virtual host has a configurable list of servlets.
The supported servlets types are file, redirect, and cookieauth.
The file servlet includes optional support for

HTML templates.

maintains a self-rotating
.Xr logfile 3
error log, with optional support for logging via syslog as well.
