Description: Programmable web server written in C and Tcl
Naviserver is a programmable web server written in C and Tcl.
The implementation is high performance, but the interface is easy to
use, at both the C and Tcl level.
Features include:
* Hybrid multi-threaded / async architecture for easy programmer interface and
high performance
* Threads isolated from each other with own Tcl interpreters
* Shares data between threads easily with protected variables and caches
* Pooled database connections (also: nsdbi)
* Dynamic Pages in TCL (PHP- and ASP-like syntax)
* Built-in cron-like scheduling
* Watchdog for restarting server
* Efficient handling for large up- and downloads (spooling and writer threads)
* Optional non-blocking log file writing (to avoid file system latencies,
since 4.99.4)
* Fully async drivers for HTTP and SSL (based on poll(), supporting several
1000 file descriptors, since 4.99.4)
* Gzipped delivery of dynamic and static content (since 4.99.5)
* Tcl configuration file

I plan to maintain this package in the Tcl/Tk team.
