documentation and configuration examples _where_? On busybox.net?
From your device's doc?

You can invoke busybox's httpd as

/path/to/busybox httpd [PARAMS]

or just

/path/to/httpd [PARAMS]

where /path/to/httpd is a hard- or symlink to busybox
(or in some cases, just "busybox" binary itself renamed to "httpd").
