GNU libmicrohttpd is a small C library that is supposed to make 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:
|
|
|
|
* C library: fast and small
|
|
* API is simple, expressive and fully reentrant
|
|
* Implementation is http 1.1 compliant
|
|
* HTTP server can listen on multiple ports
|
|
* Support for IPv6
|
|
* Support for incremental processing of POST data
|
|
* Creates binary of only 30k (without TLS/SSL support)
|
|
* Three different threading models
|
|
* Supported platforms include GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, 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.
