Features

--------

* Simple C++ API

* Serves static content from disk

* API for building WebSocket servers

* Simple command line binary for quick serving of static files only

* Supports newer Hybi-10 and Hybi-16 WebSockets as well as the older Hixie style.

* Supports Linux and Windows

Stuff it doesn't do

-------------------

* It's not nearly as configurable as Apache, Lighttpd, Nginx, Jetty, etc.

* It provides only limited support for custom content generation (e.g. Servlets).

* It has been designed for WebSocket based control.

* It probably won't work on other systems (patches to support other systems would be welcome, but not a priority for us)

Getting started

---------------
