# Overview
|
|
|
|
Mongoose keeps the balance between functionality and
|
|
simplicity by carefully selected list of features:
|
|
|
|
- Works on Windows, Mac, UNIX, iPhone, Android, and many other platforms
|
|
- Scripting and database support (Lua Server Pages + Sqlite, see
|
|
[page.lp](https://github.com/valenok/mongoose/blob/master/test/page.lp) ),
|
|
which provides ready to go, powerful web development platform in
|
|
one single-click executable with **no dependencies**: forget LAMP!
|
|
- Support for CGI, SSL, SSI, Digest (MD5) authorization, Websocket, WEbDAV
|
|
- Resumed download, URL rewrite, file blacklist, IP-based ACL, Windows service
|
|
- Download speed limit based on client subnet or URI pattern
|
|
- Simple and clean embedding API,
