Handily, there happens to be just such a web server that comes as part of the standard OpenBSD install. Secure, chrooted, supports SSL, sane defaults out of the box. See man httpd(8), or take a look at http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=httpd http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#HTTPS will also help, and deals specifically with setting up an SSL-enabled server. As a side note, might I humbly recommend that in future a certain amount of Googling, or even just browsing around the FAQ by hand, might bring better results than just asking this list, which generally prefers to focus on more complex issues, ie ones not already well-documented in the man pages, the FAQ, and answered repeatedly in the archives of this list. Cheers, Si1entDave -- Yes, I know, I've just defeated my own argument by giving him his answers on a platter, and thus reinforcing said behaviour, but what the hell, its a nice sunny day here in Coventry. I'm in a good mood :-)
