I mostly just use this when testing HTML bundles on my work system and need to serve from a web server to bypass Javascript-from-file:// issues. In production, if you really just need static file serving, I would also tend to recommend nginx instead.

I need some light and fast. It don't need support all http, just the basics is fine. Suggestions? What do you mean by 'the basics'? happstack, yesod, and snap are all frameworks for building web applications. But it sounds like you are just looking for a web server to server static content for the disk? If so, what is the advantage you hope to get by using Haskell over nginx ? Any of the high-level frameworks can server static content pretty trivially. For example in Happstack you would just do: > module Main where > > import Happstack.Server (Browsing(EnableBrowsing), nullConf, serveDirectory, simpleHTTP) > > main :: IO () > main = simpleHTTP nullConf $ serveDirectory EnableBrowsing [] "." To serve files from the current directly. If that is all you really need, then I would probably recommend warp + wai-app-static, http://hackage.haskell.org/package/wai-app-static Warp is pretty darn fast. Though, in practice I think you will find that all of the frameworks/servers are going to have very similar results for serving static files since they all call sendfile() to do the bulk of the transfer. If you are looking for other features, then you need to say what those features are.. - jeremy ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] Light and fast http server
snap or warp/yesod. maybe in a few years we will have a winner for the platform... --dons On Friday, March 11, 2011, Vo Minh Thu wrote: > 2011/3/11 Victor Oliveira : >> Hi cafe, >> >> There are a lot of http servers in hackage.
