Small Embeddable HTTP Server Library
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.

- refresh libmicrohttpd-drop-test_tls_options.patch
- add there also ignoring test_https_sni
- Update to 0.9.33
+ Fixed an issue with a missing argument in the postexample.
+ Fixed issue with bogus offset increment involving sendfile on
GNU/Linux. Adding support for SNI.
+ Fix for per-worker daemon pipes enabled with
MHD_USE_SUSPEND_RESUME that were not closed in MHD_stop_daemon.
+ Fixing warnings and build issue if --disable-https is given to
configure.
+
0.9.32:
+ Security fix: do not read past 0-terminator when unescaping
strings (thanks to Florian Weimer for reporting).
+ Signaling n times for shutdown works, but for resume we need to
wake up the correct daemon. Even if we signal n times in
that case also, there's no guarantee that some daemon can't
run through its select loop more than once before the
daemon we want to wake up gets a chance to read. Thus we
need a signal pipe per thread in the thread pool IF
MHD_suspend_connection is used. This introduces a new flag
MHD_USE_SUSPEND_RESUME to add those additional pipes and
only allow MHD_suspend_connection to be used in conjunction
with this flag.
Also, as MHD_resume_connection() will be called on a
non-daemon thread, but none of the queue insert/delete
calls are thread safe, we need to be concerned about (a)
corrupting the queue, and (b) having to add mutex
protection around every access to the queues, including
loops through timer queues, etc. This wasn't a problem (forwarded request 215320 from sleep_walker)
