Top 23 C HTTP Projects

  • libcurl

  • Mongoose

    Embedded Web Server (by cesanta)

    • Project mention: Coroutines in C | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-25

    I've found myself at this webpage multiple times while trying to minimize the complexity of APIs in my C projects.

    My conclusion for now is that C coroutines are something to be left to the implementer. For example: Mongoose (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose) uses event callbacks to deal with asynchronousness. It is much more pleasant to wrap a library like this in whatever thread/task primitives your system has rather than try to integrate the mythical cross-platform c couroutine.

  • InfluxDB

  • haproxy

    HAProxy Load Balancer's development branch (mirror of git.haproxy.org)

    • Project mention: HAProxy is not affected by the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack (CVE-2023-44487) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-11

    I wanted to try it out just now but hit a roadblock immediately - it cannot automatically obtain and maintain TLS certificates. You have to use an external client (e.g. acme.sh), set up a cron to check/renew them, and poke HAProxy to reload them if necessary. I'm way past doing this in 2023.

    Corkscrew works for a specific use case:

    1. you're behind an HTTP proxy, and

    2. the HTTP proxy support the CONNECT method

    Around 20 years ago I did a short contract which had #1 but not #2. Thankfully, there's a tool for this, too. Of course it requires some set up on the server side:
