Such a server is built into the "fossil" configuration management
system. See
http://www.fossil-scm.org/
for additional information on fossil. You can copy C source code from
there. With fossil you can type:
fossil ui
and it will launch an embedded web server and an instance of your web
browser pointing at that server. All the content comes out of a
fossil repository, which is really just an SQLite database. It works
on unix or windows. (FWIW, getting this to work right on windows was
probably the single most challenging coding problem in fossil.)
The SQLite website is implemented using a profoundly simple HTTP
server that runs off of inetd. The complete source code is contained
in a single file of C code that is available on-line at:
http://www.sqlite.org/docsrc/artifact/84d487ac34
Documentation on how to operation this HTTP server is contained in
comments at the beginning of the code. (It is not hard.)
