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 (largely) HTTP 1.1 compliant
* HTTP server can listen on multiple ports
* Support for IPv6
* Creates binary of only 22k (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. However, if you want to be
able to serve simple WWW pages from within your C or C++ application,
check it out.
