I can't say I recommend it right now, but I (and Martin) have started
develop something we call gen_httpd where the goal is to provide a very
simple HTTP server interface rather than a web server. The motivation
behind this is that things such as frameworks, backends with HTTP
interfaces etc. usually don't need a web server per say, but only a HTTP
interface. Anyway, you can find some code at
http://code.hellstrom.st/hg.cgi/ I hope to add some documentation soonish :)
