A Lightweight and fully asynchronous HTTP server library based on [libubox] and referenced
from [uhttpd] for Embedded Linux.

`Keep Watching for More Actions on This Space`

# 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
See which configuration are supported

	~/libuhttpd/$ mkdir build && cd build
	~/libuhttpd/build$ cmake .. -L
	~/libuhttpd/build$ cmake .. -LH

# Build and install

	~/libuhttpd/build$ make && sudo make install

# Run Example	
Run

	~/libuhttpd/build$ ./example/helloworld
	
Then use the command curl or browser to test
