Config file spec:

cpu_limit 4       # maximum CPU count to use (for non-blocking servers)
thread_limit 256  # maximum simultaneous connections (for blocking servers)
document_root /var/www/html

Run tests:

git clone https://github.com/init/http-test-suite.git
cd http-test-suite

docker build -t bykov-httpd https://github.com/init/httpd.git
docker run -p 80:80 -v /etc/httpd.conf:/etc/httpd.conf:ro -v /var/www/html:/var/www/html:ro --name bykov-httpd -t bykov-httpd
