# public-inbox-httpd(1)

PSGI server optimized for public-inbox

## NAME

public-inbox-httpd - PSGI server optimized for public-inbox

## SYNOPSIS

```
  public-inbox-httpd [OPTIONS] [/path/to/myapp.psgi]
```

## DESCRIPTION

public-inbox-httpd is a PSGI/Plack server supporting HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0.  It uses options and environment variables common to all [**public-inbox-daemon**(8)](/public-inbox-daemon/8.md) implementations in addition to the PSGI file.

If a PSGI file is not specified, PublicInbox::WWW is loaded with a default middleware stack consisting of Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy, and Plack::Middleware::Head

This may point to a PSGI file for supporting generic PSGI apps.

## ENVIRONMENT

- GIT\_HTTP\_MAX\_REQUEST\_BUFFER

  Shared with [**git-http-backend**(1)](/git-http-backend/1.md), this governs the maximum upload size of an HTTP request.

  Default: 10m
