Feature request: Simple web server support in C version.

No is really working on this code, but if someone wants to give it a go we can see if it can be merged.

Hello. I have recently finished my WebSocket proxy (WsStent) here:

https://www.thamessoftware.co.uk/forge?repo=wsstent

Some features it has are:

• Written entirely in C (c89)
• Uses non-blocking sockets (can work on admittedly rare platforms with no multi-threading)
• Very memory safe in that it uses a fairly elaborate tombstone system (libstent)
• Provides a simple www server (like websockify (python version))
• Enforces SSL in websocket end but unencrypted sockets on the TCP endpoint
• Depends only on OpenSSL and POSIX sockets

I have only just recently tested it with noVNC and it seems to work well. BSD-2-clause licensed. Happy for people to use it. Something like:

$ wsstent --webroot www --cert cert.pem --key key.pem --binary --tunnelport 5900 --tunnelhost localhost

Stale issue.
