Hi,
some minor typos in Readme.md file:

This is a small http server, originally inspired by micro-httpd, for its small size, but with the intention to serve dynamic content instead of static files.

The primary reason to use an http server is that it is a simpler method to display graphics than interfacing with a graphics library like Gtk or Qt.

The second reason is that it is still usable on systems without graphics capability, since it is enough to have a network connection and view the graphics from a remote full-fledged computer.

This server provides monitoring of filesystem status and md RAID status. Monitoring of other system-critical components could be added.

                                                   file system

This server follows http 1.0 protocol, which means that the connexion is closed immediately after the content have been transferred. This makes it usable to serve one request after the other and have only one session at a time.

                                                                                          connection

Data transferred reflects the status of the filesytems and of the RAID(s) at the moment of the request. There is no automatic update. To obtain updates, the user must repeat the request (by using the "refresh" button of the web blowser).

                                                                file systems                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         browser

PORT NUMBER

This server expects connexions on port 8085 by default. If another port number is desired, it can be changed by one of 4 means:

                              connections

    on the command line, invoque 'httpd port-number'

                                      invoke  (call?)

    in src/httpd.c: change the line #define LISTEN

    add the line above in /src/diskweb.h

    in the makefile, add a -D option to the gcc command to do the same

diskweb's httpd can also be invoqued through inetd, in which case it does not listen to any port and the listening port is part of inetd's configuration.

                                          invoked (called?)

BUILDING and INSTALLING

To just compile the executable file httpd, run 'make' To delete it, run 'make clean' To install /usr/local/diskweb/httpd, run 'make install' . (A dot is missing)

To uninstall it, run 'make uninstall' . (A dot is missing)

No sysv-rc, runit, s6, or other init scipt is provided. The easy way to start diskweb on Devuan is to copy the file diskweb.sh in /etc/boot.d ; commands in this directory

                                                  script

are executed by /etc/rc.local as the last step of system startup. This script is not installed by 'make install' because it would require root priviledge.

                                                                                                                                                                                                               privileges
Note that root priviledge is needed to listen on a port number lower that 1024.

                      privileges are

Hope this helps.
Ciao,
Tito
