At my day job, I had to find an embedded web server. Maybe I didn't look all that hard, but I couldn't find any that I thought were really good. So, I downloaded "Abyss" and hacked at it. I got what I needed to get done, done, but it left me thinking a good, easy, open source library would be useful in the future. Anyway, anyone interested in writing a really easy library as an open source project? It should have: Easily installable service modules SSL/TLS Sockets Thread pool services Run on UNIX/POSIX and Win32/Win64 It should be small! very small! Not another apache sort of thing. As easy as: Socket * sock = NULL; if(ssl) sock =new SSLSocket(443); else sock = new Socket(80); WebServer *web = new WebServer(sock); WebHandler * foo = new WebFoo(); web->installHandler(foo); web->numThreads(5); web->run(); It should be easy enough that no one need ever crack open the source unless they want too. I'm not to C++, we could use C, but it should use some object based system.
