Well, from my digging the last couple of days, the best web-server option I've seen has been thttpd that supports POST natively. It appears to be secure and supports SSL and we already have a package (whether a re-compile is needed for this is another story. I dug through Mosquito last night for a bit. They use _no_ text editor and _all_ configuration must be done via the web-cgi applet. They are using thttpd w/"uncgi" which seems a great system other than Uncgi is copywritten "freeware", which could cause us GPL problems if packaged in a release. Uncgi supports most scripting languages, Mosquito used shell and Jscript for theirs. I know this is a different direction than where we are looking, but thttpd and a generic GPL'ed script interpreter would work ideally. > I'd especially like to see a clean, extensible, understandable method > for setting up complex networking configurations & static routes, > since we're supposed to be targeting networking based > applications...I have yet to see a method of configuring networking > on a linux disto that I would consider "intuitively obvious", but > I've mainly worked with RH and Caldera.

I could come up with a menu system similar to the kernel "menuconfg/xconfig" that I think could be a lot clearer considering simple/advanced options. I've tested darn everything but Caldera and Gentoo looking for something similar. I was also working on a similar-type project, before starting LEAF, for a Server-Linux upstart creating a similar menu-system for configuration of Apache, ProFTP, Samba, etc.... Unfortunately, my hard-drive died the week I was going to upload it and I never bothered to cvs or back it up :( .
