lighttpd has added support for wolfSSL in version 1.4.51! lighttpd is a fast and lightweight web server designed with a very low memory footprint. These design goals make wolfSSL an excellent choice as the SSL/TLS implementation, as it’s built to be lightweight, portable, and very fast. wolfSSL targets embedded and IoT devices but works just as well on desktop, enterprise, and cloud environments. Configuring wolfSSL as the SSL/TLS backend for lighttpd is simple and can provide you with the immediate benefit of a lower memory footprint and faster cryptography!
Compile wolfSSL with:
./configure --enable-lighty make make install
Compile lighttpd with:
./configure --with-wolfssl make make install
