seHTTPd implements a small and efficient web server with 1K lines of C code.
I/O multiplexing is achieved using epoll.
- 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 time
