httpdaddy

A high-performance, multi-threaded HTTP 1.1 server written in Nim.

ℹ️ This HTTP server is designed to utilize epoll-like OS APIs and does not support Windows by design.

⚠️ This library is not yet hardened against common HTTP security exploits. If you use it in production, do so behind a reverse proxy like nginx.

Features

Current features include:

• Built on the Nim selectors module, making efficient use of epoll on Linux and kqueue on macOS.
• Automatic parallelization; compile with --threads:on to enable.
• Support for HTTP pipelining.
• On-demand parsing to handle only the requested data.
• Integration with Nim's asyncdispatch, allowing async/await in request callbacks.
