|
it easy to run an HTTP server as part of another application. GNU
|
|
libmicrohttpd is free software and part of the GNU project. Key

features that distinguish libmicrohttpd from other projects are:
|
|
|

|
|
* Implementation is http 1.1 compliant
|
|

|
|
* Support for IPv6
|
|
* Support for incremental processing of POST data
|
|

|
|
* Three different threading models

|
|
OS X, W32, Symbian and z/OS
|
|
* Optional support for SSL3 and TLS (requires libgcrypt)
|
|
|
|
libmicrohttpd was started because the author needed an easy way to add
|
|
a concurrent HTTP server to other projects. Existing alternatives were
|
|
either non-free, not reentrant, standalone, of terrible code quality
|
|
or a combination thereof. Do not use libmicrohttpd if you are looking
|
|
for a standalone http server, there are many other projects out there
|
|
that provide that kind of functionality already. However, if you
|
|
want to be able to serve simple WWW pages from within your C or C++
|
|
application, check it out.
|
|
|
|
libmicrohttpd is licensed under the GNU LGPL. If you disable HTTPS/SSL
|
|
support, you can also choose the second license, the eCos License.
