title: PDB symbol server on Linux
body: <p>How can I set up a symbol server for use with WinDbg and friends on a Linux machine that runs an HTTP server?</p>
  
  <p>The upstream symbol servers <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311503" rel="nofollow">provided by Microsoft are HTTP servers</a> (e.g. <code>http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols</code>) and I'd like to mimic their behavior and enable the usual Win32 debuggers to download the symbols from my own.</p>
  
  <p>How can I achieve this without emulating bits and pieces of Windows (e.g. via Wine or KVM)?</p>
