If this is going to be in an embedded environment, is it using BusyBox? 
BusyBox has a built in httpd functionality. IIRC, it even has some basic 
CGI ability. I haven't used it much myself but it should work for what 
you want. I just checked by OpenWRT box and the http server it uses is 
the one built into BusyBox. Obligatory link.
