News

hinsightd is a webserver that uses the linux io_uring API. It has a lot of features but it is also very light.

it's really small, just a bit less that ~100KB binary and a ~100KB shared library
a very fast webserver
uses the lua programming language for configuration and for processing requests
very resilient to buffer overflows, check out the pattern matching library
very few dependencies: libc, lua, liburing and zlib; plus some optional dependencies: openssl
HTTP/1.1, ssl, fastcgi and cgi, deflate compression for every file served, graceful restart
decent fcgi performance
a simple http cache - if you send public cache headers from your backend the server does the rest
reverse proxy functionality - all bug reports are appreciated, this backend is undertested atm
it's also a http downloader: hinsightd -d https://tiotags.gitlab.io/
you can also use it's http library in your own projects
