kinetik

A lightweight HTTP 2.0 server with an emphasis on speed

PHASE I

The goal is an HTTP 2.0 static file server. If 127.0.0.1/readme.text is the URL supplied, the HTTP 2.0 static server should:

return the contents of readme.txt if it is in the document root with HTTP code 200 OK
return 404 NOT FOUND if it is not in the document root
return 403 ACCESS DENIED if folder permissions hinder the file from being read

Additionally, kinetik should handle requests and responses signficantly more rapidly than Apache and Nginx currently do. Metrics should be taken to demonstrate this.

PHASE II

Dynamic web application support (perhaps including a microframework, Chakra integration, and an in-memory database?)

PHASE III

HTTPS support
