AnyEvent::HTTP::Server

Fast HTTP/1.1 server component for AnyEvent Framework

There is a previous implementation, that anybody could look to (http://github.com/Mons/AnyEvent-HTTP-Server), but it will never be on CPAN

If you just plan to use something for HTTP, better to look deeper into this version.

If you lack some functionality, please, open ticket or ask me. Maybe it could be easily added.

Rationale

This module is a complete rewrite of previous version. Previous was not so slow, but It will slower than python's Twisted http server or node.js' http server. Also it was much slower than Twiggy.

Current implementation contains no XS and it is faster, than Twiggy with XS HTTP parser. Later I will enhance it with XS.

Warning

This is early development release. I'll try not to change interfaces in major, but some things may be a bit changed
