==== Description: ====
libmicrohttpd is a small C library that is supposed to make it easy to run an
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
* HTTP server can listen on multiple ports
* Support for IPv6
* Support for incremental processing of POST data
* Creates binary of only 25k (for now)
* Three different threading models

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. 


==== Other Software Required: ====
GNU libc ;-).


==== Other Comments: ====
RMS just dubbed libmicrohttpd a GNU project today.

Karl Berry has checked the code and documentation for compliance.

This should be a web-only project (so that we can upload a webpage to
gnu.org), we will continue to use the SVN repository on gnunet.org for the
time being (https://gnunet.org/svn/).
