Monkey project produces an open source and high quality HTTP Server for GNU/Linux with focus in embedded devices. Project goals are performance, scalability and Linux Kernel dependent.

In technical terms, Monkey has been designed with a flexible architecture, it is based in a core which only supports HTTP/1.1 and an API interface to extends the server functionality through plugins. Some remarkable Monkey features are:

• ARM, x86 & x64 support
• Binary size (core) < 60KB
• IPv6
• C API interface
• Extensions/Plugins:
  • Basic Auth
  • SSL
  • Security - Rules per URI and subnetworks
  • Log Writer
  • Directory Listing
  • Cheetah! Shell: command line interface through Unix socket domain
  • Duda: Web Services Framework

Projects

• Enable Monkey to be used as a shared library The main part of the project is to define the API for the library. The changes in monkey that I see would be to implement the library context handling: start, configuring, callbacks, stop, restart, logging.
• Key-Value store technology for Duda Will add key-value store technology package to Duda, the web services framework for Monkey using Redis and Memcached client APIs
