RoxyHTTP

A simple HTTP server written in C, and extensible through Lua

---

About

A (very) simple HTTP server written in C designed to simple to use and deploy in POSIX systems.

By default it simply serves files in a provided directory. This functionality can be overridden by functions that directly process the request and produce a response, which is done in plain Lua.

This project is currently mostly incomplete and has many rough edges.
