Reyk Flöter (reyk@) recently [committed](http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=140605064926486&w=2) the [rc(8)](http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc&apropos=0&sec=0&arch=amd64&manpath=OpenBSD-current) glue to make his forked-from-relayd http server usable:

This code is derived from [relayd(8)](), which means that it shares the privsep architecture and human-readable configuration syntax common to many OpenBSD-originated daemons.

This is still early work, and in a [series](http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=140615618302419&w=2) of [follow-up](http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=140615297101433&w=2) [commits](http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=140612204019668&w=2), reyk@ has fixed a smattering of issues that have come up during early use. If you have a need for a web server that does little more than serves static content, go ahead and give it a spin and see if you can keep Herr Flöter up late again!
