Monkey HTTP Daemon is a very fast and lightweight Web server for Linux. It uses a hybrid networking model based on asynchronous calls (event-driven) and fixed threads, which makes it scalable and capable of attending thousands of clients per second. It provides a powerful API for C and is ideal for embedded devices, thanks to its small core and plugin architecture.

Release Notes: This minor release fixes some issues in the build system. The code is intact.


Release Notes: A new CGI plugin was added. The scheduler now registers new incoming sockets with MK_EPOLL_READ. A new MK_EPOLL_DISABLE mode was provided along with a new epoll states mechanism, and new usage of GCC prefetch/[un]likely built-ins. HTTP now unsets the cork flag when mk_http_send_file is done. TCP_NODELAY is no longer enabled. mk_api is not exported. Initial iov zeroing of offset entries was fixed. In the configure script, plugin detection was improved and several code cleanups and optimizations were made.

It fails to compile under MacOS X and the debian.sh script doesn't work under Ubuntu. Not good for a 1.0 release...
