+FHTTPD is a relatively new HTTP/FTP daemon that supports modules,
+in particular, for PHP3. It's a feasible alternative to Apache,
+but only for certain situations (for reasons given below). For
+example, if one wishes only to run one daemon for both the FTP
+and HTTP services, they can do that with FHTTPD.
+
+Unfortunately, at this time, FHTTPD does not seem to offer the
+capability of running as non-root after binding to privileged
+ports. Not to mention that the code itself is not very
+self-documenting... it is of a poor programming style.
