Wiibrew coder teknecal shifts away from memory games for a while and releases Wiihttpd. As the name suggests, this new homebrew program is an HTTP Web server for the Wii.

Wiihttpd is based on another highly useful program, FTPii. To use the program, you need to create a /www directory on the root of your SD card and place all the files you would like to serve in there. After this, you'll need to run the homebrew via the Homebrew Channel, or your method of choice.

The program currently sports the following features:

* Basic HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 support
* Dynamic HTTP headers
* Able to serve any file type you like (you can add more file types in common.h)
* Able to use spaces and dots in file names
* View server uptime, pages/files served and not found by going to /stats

The download archive also includes the source code. So, for the benefit of coders out there, here's is the changelog of the program, which is now on version 0.0.2. Remember to go through the readme before using the program.
