Project Mission
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Project mission is to provide simple, functional, embeddable web server to
|
|
make it easy for application and device developers to implement web interface for their
|
|
application and devices, and to offer a simple development environment.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
To accomplish it's mission, Mongoose keeps balance on functionality and
|
|
simplicity by carefully selected list of features:
|
|
|

|
|
- Works on Windows, Mac, UNIX, iPhone, Android, and many other platforms
|
|
- Support for CGI, SSL, SSI, Digest (MD5) authorization, Websocket, WEbDAV
|
|
- Lua server pages (PHP-like functionality using Lua), see [page.lp](https://github.com/valenok/mongoose/blob/master/test/page.lp)
|
|
- Resumed download, URL rewrite, IP-based ACL, Windows service
|
|
- Excluding files from serving by URI pattern (file blacklist)
|
|
- Download speed limit based on client subnet or URI pattern
|
|
- Small footprint: executable size is 50 kB on Linux 2.6 i386 system
|
|
- 130 kilobytes Windows executable with all of the above and no dependencies
|
|
- Simple and clean embedding API ([mongoose.h](https://github.com/valenok/mongoose/blob/master/mongoose.h)). The source is in single [mongoose.c](https://github.com/valenok/mongoose/blob/master/mongoose.c) file to make things easy.
|

Since 2004, Mongoose is being constantly improved by me, Sergey Lyubka, a software engineer
|
|
from Galway, Ireland. My other software I give to the community for free is
|
|
[Super Light Regular Expression library](http://code.google.com/p/slre).

If you feel grateful for the stuff I've done, you can buy me a book from my
|
|
[Amazon wishlist](http://amzn.com/w/1OC2ZCPTQYIEP?sort=priority). Many thanks to all who
|
|
already did so: T.Barmann, D.Hughes, J.C.Sloan, R.Romeo and 4 others.

Appreciated guys, you keep my brains going!
