Description
Seminole serves as a versatile webserver toolkit that can be seamlessly integrated into pre-existing applications without causing disruptions, characterized by its lightweight and efficient resource usage, as well as its strong reliability backed by adherence to industry standards and security protocols. Developed with a specific subset of C++, Seminole features a modular, high-level API that effectively shields developers from intricate protocol complexities while still granting them the option to delve into low-level operations when needed. For those seeking a comprehensive development platform, the optional Application Framework enhances the toolkit by providing a fully stateful and message-oriented programming environment. Furthermore, a standout aspect of Seminole is its robust discovery service, which employs IP multicast technology to locate Seminole instances even when the device addresses are unknown. This discovery protocol also has the capability to transmit small updates regarding status information at regular intervals, ensuring that developers stay informed about their applications' operational states. By utilizing these features, developers can enjoy greater flexibility and control in their web development projects.
Description
This project's primary aim is to excel in a singular task: effectively serving static web directories. Many existing solutions tend to be overly complicated with features like CGI support and reliance on third-party libraries, or they fall short by lacking essential functionalities such as TLS, virtual hosts, or support for partial content. Quark seeks to strike a balance by focusing solely on static content while still incorporating advanced features typically found in more cumbersome alternatives, all while prioritizing security through methods such as chroot, privilege dropping, and strict parsing without dynamic memory allocation. We maintain that the majority of the web can operate without dynamic components, arguing that the escalating complexity of server-side applications significantly contributes to the web's growing inefficiency. In contemporary practices, the trend leans towards handling everything server-side, from parsing requests to altering files and databases, and generating HTML, often using inappropriate languages like PHP or JavaScript, which leads to significant security vulnerabilities and inefficiencies. By simplifying these processes, we aim to create a more streamlined and secure web environment.
