tipidee

What is it ?

tipidee is a web server. It supports HTTP/1.1. It aims to be compliant with RFC 9112: while it only implements a very limited subset of the optional functionality in HTTP/1.1, it implements all the mandatory parts.

Why another Web server?

There are two groups of web servers.

The first one is big, powerful servers such as nginx, Apache httpd, and so on. They focus on environments where simplicity isn't a concern and can be traded off for features, integration with larger ecosystems, or just serving speed. (lighttpd, for instance, was developed as a proof of concept for solving the c10k problem.)

The second one is

And why "tipidee"?

Because h-t-t-p-d is pretty tedious to say out loud, and only keeping the last syllables makes it easier.

Installation

Requirements

A POSIX-compliant system with a standard C development environment
GNU make, version 3.81 or later
skalibs version 2.13.2.0 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time requirement if you link against the shared version of the skalibs library.
Recommended at run-time: s6-networking version 2.5.1.3 or later. It's not a strict requirement, but tipidee relies on a super-server to listen to the network and provide connection information via environment variables. It also defers to tools such as s6-tcpserver-access to provide access control and connection fine-tuning.

Licensing

tipidee is free software. It is available under the ISC license.
