Project Mission
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Project mission is to provide a simple and functional web server library
|
|
and web server executable built on top of that library, to
|
|
make it easy for application/device developers to implement web interface for their
|
|
application/devices, and to offer a simple development platform to the web developers.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
To accomplish it's mission, Mongoose keeps balance on functionality and
|
|
simplicity by carefully selected list of features:
|
|
|
|
- Liberal [MIT license](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License), which is great for commercial use
|
|
- Crossplatform - works on Windows, Mac and UNIX
|
|
- CGI, SSL, SSI, Digest (MD5) authorization, Websocket, WEbDAV support
|
|
- Lua server pages support (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
|
|
- Embeddable with simple and clean 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.
|
|
- Embedding examples: [hello.c](https://github.com/valenok/mongoose/blob/master/examples/hello.c), [post.c](https://github.com/valenok/mongoose/blob/master/examples/post.c), [upload.c](https://github.com/valenok/mongoose/blob/master/examples/upload.c), [websocket.c](https://github.com/valenok/mongoose/blob/master/examples/websocket.c)
