Really depends on what OS you want to go with.  The webserver will only
be as secure as you configure it to be.  If you are a W32 guy, then IIS
5 using the IIS lock down tool, all patches, and constant monitoring of
logs would be the way to go. 

Else Apache.

All -

I'm looking for some good directions on setting up a "secure"
HTTP (not HTTPS) server.  Any particular suggestions of where
to hunt, since my googling has resulted in more answers than
minutes to even skip them all.

The purpose is to provide a server to permit sharing of
research data, and to provide web pages for our research group.

Thanks for any pointers/help you can offer.

Charley
