The front page does not mention ursus.  It does however say:

 "The web server software serving these pages is an experiment that ran
  away. I needed something to test the  opencm configuration management
  system and at the same time I was involved in a heated discussion
  about bloated web servers. I decided to take thttpd and just do a
  bunch of changes to it to get a feeling of the code so that I could
  work on it and to test opencm at the same time. The whole thing
  snowballed and at some point I realized that I: 1. Made some huge
  unnecessary changes (reindented the whole code to test the merge
  mechanisms of opencm) to thttpd that would never be accepted by the
  main thttpd developers. 2.  Made some very neat hacks to thttpd that
  actually improved the code while making it smaller. I decided that
  noone would get hurt if I forked off my own httpd and since then I've
  been slowly improving the code of ahttpd. It still hasn't seen a
  public release because I haven't rewritten the ugliest (and possibly
  most infested with security bugs) part of the code yet, but it will
  get there eventually."
  
I suppose ftp://ftp.blahonga.org/pub/ahttpd-1.0a.tar.gz is an alpha
version.
 
Have a nice day
