Dear all, libmicrohttpd was recently became a GNU package, and we just made a fresh release.
About libmicrohttpd ============= GNU libmicrohttpd is a small C library that is supposed to make it easy to run an embedded HTTP server as part of another application. 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 (also works for http 1.0) * HTTP server can listen on multiple ports * Support for IPv6 * Support for incremental processing of POST data * Creates binary of only about 25k (for now) * Three different threading models libmicrohttpd was started because we needed an easy way to add a concurrent HTTP server to GNUnet. Existing alternatives were either non-free, not reentrant, standalone, of terrible code quality or a combination thereof. You most likely do not want to 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 and need a library, libmicrohttpd hopefully works for you. libmicrohttpd currently does not include support for HTTPS, but we hope to add (optional) support for encryption in the near future. What is new? ======== For those using older versions, the 0.3.0 release updates the documentation and adds a new up-to-date texinfo manual. It also also resolves some issues with handling of malformed HTTP requests and adds testcases to test malformed HTTP requests. Finally, libmicrohttpd now generates an "internal server error" if the programmer incorrectly fails to incrementally handle upload data. More information =========== The page on gnu.org is still not enabled, in the meantime you can find documentation, mailinglists, bugtracking and of course download links for libmicrohttpd at http://gnunet.org/libmicrohttpd/. Thank you for your attention! Christian _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
