Find the thttpd 2.25b tarball on my site. It includes binaries and a README with the patch. No testing beyond starting it and hitting the home page.
Gave lighttpd a try (configured with --without-pcre --without-zlib --without-bzip2) but quickly ran into POSIX bits that A/UX doesn't have. I don't think it would be impossible to port, just the tedium of supplying compatibility definitions/functions, or patching them out and using similar, older stuff instead.

If you can get Perl 5.005 on it -- and I'm pretty sure it does build -- you can use HTTPi. plug>

Hrm... Very nice...
I may have to host my personal website on my Centris 650 now... (Even better by creating the website in iWeb. Site creation in the newest slickest Apple software for the job, site hosting on a positively ancient system. I may even try to cram A/UX onto my SE/30, although I don't want the heat/power-draw of the CRT to fry the rest of the system...)

Just a small bit of advice... try boa, specifically the .92 version. It is incredibly easy to port and very, very efficient.
As far as using an SE/30 24/7, it should be fine saying its been recapped. Just turn the brightness down; however, I'd use the 650 if you've got a real '040 in it. A/UX is slow on anything not an '040 in my experience. Even with lots of ram and a fast disk my SE/30 is very pokey in A/UX.
