-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 * Package name : pion-net Version : 2.1.8 Upstream Author : Atomic Labs, Inc. * URL : http://www.pion.org/projects/pion-network-library * License : Boost Software License 1.0 Programming Lang: C++ Description : library for implementing lightweight HTTP interfaces According to the upstream website (will be trimmed for packaging): Pion Network Library (pion-net) is a C++ development library for implementing lightweight HTTP interfaces. There are a wide variety of open source HTTP servers available, from fast and lightweight servers such as lighttpd, to full-featured platforms like Apache HTTPD. The motivation of pion-net is not to implement yet another web server, but to provide HTTP(S) functionality to new or existing C++ applications. If you're looking for a full-featured server application, we suggest that you use one of the projects above. If you're working on a Boost C++ application and would just like to use HTTP to provide a simple user interface or interact with run-time data, then pion-net is a much cleaner and simpler solution. Pion Network Library uses the Boost and asio libraries for multi-threading and asynchronous I/O. Multi-threading allows the use of multiple CPUs or processing cores to process HTTP requests simultaneously. Asynchronous I/O allows each thread to handle many connections simultaneously (otherwise, a single thread would be required for every connection to the server). The combination of these technologies takes full advantage of the most modern CPUs, and allows servers implemented using pion-net to handle many thousands of connections simultaneously with a single physical server. Pion Network Library lets you run multiple servers listening to any number of ports and network devices. Each server may have its own collection of web services defined which are bound to HTTP resources. Protocols other than HTTP can also easily be implemented for any server. A common thread pool is used to handle operations for all servers. pion-net also supports server-side SSL & TLS encryption when built with the OpenSSL library. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkq23wUACgkQ5SXWIKfIlGSKfACdHGPZ2nHEMJb11Ne0axaIsXe4 25IAni91ev5VDQx7yIIKZF34gERKavrW =hbE7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
