libev does not provide any http functionality, though. Supposedly, it is possible to use the libevent HTTP code and link that against (the libevent compat layer of) libev. The libev guys claim it is “loosely modelled after libevent, but without its limitations and bugs.” I haven't found any comparison of the two libs (besides a benchmark), so I'm not sure what limitations and bugs they are talking about. > > It should be fairly easy to implement the FastCGI / standalone app > > supports side-by-side. > > You are thinking a bunch of #ifdef's and an compile-time option > between the two? Or make it a runtime choice? I'd use two "main" files, each one providing a main() function and taking care of the specific request handling and main loop stuff.
