Description

The Abyss Web Server is a lightweight web hosting solution compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. Although it is designed to occupy minimal space, it offers a wide range of features, including support for HTTP/2, secure SSL/TLS connections (HTTPS), and automated setup and renewal of complimentary certificates through Let's Encrypt® (ACME v2). Additionally, it supports IPv6, real-time HTTP compression, dynamic content generation via CGI/FastCGI scripts, ISAPI extensions, and native ASP.NET. Other capabilities include reverse proxying for HTTP/HTTPS/WebSocket, eXtended Side Includes (XSSI), customizable error pages, access control via password protection and IP address management, anti-leeching measures, bandwidth throttling, and log rotation for maintenance. Moreover, it incorporates a built-in automatic security system and a user-friendly multilingual remote web management interface, streamlining the configuration process to make it as effortless as browsing a website. This combination of features makes Abyss Web Server an attractive option for developers and businesses alike.

Description

This project's primary aim is to excel in a singular task: effectively serving static web directories. Many existing solutions tend to be overly complicated with features like CGI support and reliance on third-party libraries, or they fall short by lacking essential functionalities such as TLS, virtual hosts, or support for partial content. Quark seeks to strike a balance by focusing solely on static content while still incorporating advanced features typically found in more cumbersome alternatives, all while prioritizing security through methods such as chroot, privilege dropping, and strict parsing without dynamic memory allocation. We maintain that the majority of the web can operate without dynamic components, arguing that the escalating complexity of server-side applications significantly contributes to the web's growing inefficiency. In contemporary practices, the trend leans towards handling everything server-side, from parsing requests to altering files and databases, and generating HTML, often using inappropriate languages like PHP or JavaScript, which leads to significant security vulnerabilities and inefficiencies. By simplifying these processes, we aim to create a more streamlined and secure web environment.
