Small Embeddable HTTP Server Library

Edit Package libmicrohttpd
http://gnunet.org/libmicrohttpd/

GNU libmicrohttpd is a small C library that is supposed to make it easy to run an HTTP server as part of another application. GNU libmicrohttpd is free software and part of the GNU project. Key features that distinguish libmicrohttpd from other projects are:

* C library: fast and small
* API is simple, expressive and fully reentrant
* Implementation is http 1.1 compliant
* HTTP server can listen on multiple ports
* Support for IPv6
* Support for incremental processing of POST data
* Creates binary of only 30k (without TLS/SSL support)
* Three different threading models
* Supported platforms include GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, OS X, W32, Symbian and z/OS
* Optional support for SSL3 and TLS (requires libgcrypt)

libmicrohttpd was started because the author needed an easy way to add a concurrent HTTP server to other projects. Existing alternatives were either non-free, not reentrant, standalone, of terrible code quality or a combination thereof. Do not use libmicrohttpd if you are looking for a standalone http server, there are many other projects out there that provide that kind of functionality already. However, if you want to be able to serve simple WWW pages from within your C or C++ application, check it out.

- drop test_tls_options if build is in OBS
  libmicrohttpd-drop-test_tls_options.patch

- More robust make install call
- Remove redundant %clean section
- Requires(pre) is useless without a %pre script

- Update to 0.9.27
  + performance improvements for POST processing
  + new API call to reduce the number of select calls (if in "external"
    select mode)
  + new function to allow applications to stop MHD from processing new
    incoming connections while finishing ongoing requests
  + fixes an initialization problem on some platforms
  + fixes bug in the postprocessor's URL parser.
  + SSL connections are no longer dropped if the system uptime is less
    than the connection timeout
  + allows creating responses with zero bytes using
    MHD_create_response_from_callback.
  + few "const" statements have been added to allow keeping more static
    strings in ROM.
  + post processor now tolerates uploads which don't contain "\r\n" and
    also returns keys which don't have a matching value
  + fixes the loss of a parameter in processing POST data from IE8 and
    Chrome. It automatically sets a "Connection: close" header if the
    client requests the connection to be closed. Finally, given both
    'chunked' encoding and 'content-length', MHD now ignores the
    'content-length' header as per the RFC
  + adds support for building libmicrohttpd for Android
  + fixes an issue with data in TLS buffers sometimes not being completely
