# khttpd

`khttpd` is an experimental HTTP server implemented as Linux kernel module.

The server defaults to port 8081, but this can be easily configured using

command line argument `port=?` when you are about to load the kernel module.

## TODO

* Release resources when HTTP connection is about to be closed.

* Introduce CMWQ.

* Improve memory management.

* Request queue and/or cache
