I have tried to configure inetd to respond to http requests on port 8080 using the following configuration.

8080 stream tcp nowait.1000 root http

However, it does not work. Using netcat, I find that instead of responding with http messages, it simply replies

http: http: unknown command:
http: use "help" for more information

Fossil clearly does not understand the parameters passed to it. Would someone that has experience respond to this problem, and update the Quick Start guide?

Thanks.
