Features

• Action - processes requests by invoking registered C functions which mapped to a specific path.
• Lightweight and fully asynchronous
• Use libubox as its event backend
• Support HTTPS - OpenSSL, mbedtls and CyaSSl(wolfssl)
• Flexible - you can easily extend your application to have HTTP/HTTPS services
• Code structure is concise and understandable, also suitable for learning
• Lua Template - Embed Lua code into HTML code, like embedding PHP into HTML

TO DO

• Lua API - Using Lua programming

Dependencies

• libubox
• ustream-ssl - If you need to support SSL
• mbedtls - If you choose mbedtls as your SSL backend
• CyaSSl(wolfssl) - If you choose wolfssl as your SSL backend
• openssl - If you choose openssl as your SSL backend

Configure
