I downloaded the upstream source and this problem is there too. I don't think this package is actively maintained, although I suppose I could send an email to the "maintainers" and see what happens. I'm probably going to use "thttpd" instead, which does appear to be maintained and has better performance under some very real circumstances. You certainly have my permission to remove this from the tree :)
Doesn't go anywhere; sending to treecleaners.
Treecleaners, please feel free to clean. From the looks of it, thttpd is a valid replacement for it.
*** Bug 101600 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Treecleaners, please vote.
SIGDIE ;)
better alternatives, dead upstream ++

Why should we remove this tiny little webserver? It works fine and builds fine (also after unmasking, at least on gentoo's amd64). I use it on my new gentoo system since I installed my first gentoo system in April. I've to admit that at the moment I'm not yet very familiar with the portage build system. So I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with this package. It builds fine with the following use flags: USE="-tetex". I use Boa on several rpm based Linux hosts (Fedora/OpensSuse) for years without problems. The only thing that I ever had to fix in boa was to increase the value of MAX_HEADER_LENGTH from 1024 to 2048 in file src/defines.h. This was necessary to satisfy prewikka (Web-Management interface of Prelude IDS) but this an other story. Whether the boa development is dead or not Boa(0.94.14-0.5.rc21) is for example still part of the current Fedora development branch.

Tested, it works. I vote to maintain it.
he makes a good case. ;) i posted a call for a maintainer to -dev, but even if no one steps up i'd say just fix it. there's also bug #101600 but it appears there could be a fix in comment #2.
Just want to mention that I'd realy like it if this package will be kept in portage, i use it on many machines for static content. I dont know how much love this package needs, right now i use an overlay to keep this package available. If i can help keeping this package i'd be glad to.
if we can find an outside maintainer, (IMHO) www-servers will be happy to proxy maintain... aka apply any patch we receive....
I would help to maintain this package but I'm still a gentoo beginner (so I'm far away from being a perfect ebuild creator/maintainer)
i'll fix this up and unmask it sometime soon.
fixed
