After a more detailed study of thttpd, I understand why this is
difficult. Honestly, thttpd seems like a really antiquated and
inflexible httpd. I'd vote in favor of switching to nginx, in the
interest of having good before having perfect, with a plan to perhaps
port OpenBSD httpd or something similar.
However, the other suggestion of busybox httpd + git-http-backend seems
reasonable to me. It sounds like you were hoping to keep thttpd in play,
though, which seems folly to me.
