x0 - HTTP Web Server Framework

x0 aims to be a low-latency scalarable HTTP Web Server and Framework written in C++.

Features

• SSL support, including Server Name Indication (SNI) extension (using gnutls).
• Dynamic Content Compression with gzip, deflate and bzip2 algorithms.
• User directory support.
• Virtual Hosting and Mass Virtual Hosting
• Dynamic Directory Listing (supporting XML/XSLT and static modes)

Architectual Features

• Thin and well designed C++ standards compliant core API.
• Extendible through plugins that hook into the core
• non-blocking (asynchronous) I/O
• Truely asynchronous request handlers
• intelligent caching of frequently requested resources (server time, inode stat, custom inode attributes, ...)
• Standards Compliant (C++0x, HTTP/1.1, CGI/1.1, TLS/1.0, ...)

Software Status

Basically functional, however, the configuration system will need a face-lifting, HTTP/1.1 including Range-support and pipelining works, as well as serving static files, SSL, CGI/1.1, dynamic content compression, user-directories, aliases, and more.
