Vino is a lightweight and efficient web server written in the C programming language.
For now Vino only support Linux 2.6 or later.
Please make sure you have cmake installed.
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
./vinoIf you want to build for debug and print debug information when compiling, use cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug <path>. If you want to enable profiling, you can use cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-pg <path>.
By default the server accepts connections on port 8080, if you want to assign other port for the server, run it as ./vino -p|--port <port>. For more options, please type ./vino -h|--help into terminal.
- Single-threaded, non-blocking I/O based on event-driven model
- HTTP persistent connection (HTTP Keep-Alive)
- A timer for executing the handler after having waited the specified number of milliseconds
- A parser for extracting request line and headers from HTTP request message
- A unified memory pool
- HTTP GET method
I have made a small performance test with Nginx, a high-performance web server and reverse proxy (I have learned a lot from it). In a way it is not a fair comparison, for the processing logic in Vino is relatively simpler than Nginx.
