snap-server-0.7.0.1: A fast, iteratee-based, epoll-enabled web server for the Snap Framework

Snap is a simple and fast web development framework and server written in Haskell. For more information or to download the latest version, you can visit the Snap project website at http://snapframework.com/.

The Snap HTTP server is a high performance, epoll-enabled, iteratee-based web server library written in Haskell. Together with the snap-core library upon which it depends, it provides a clean and efficient Haskell programming interface to the HTTP protocol.

Higher-level facilities for building web applications (like user/session management, component interfaces, data modeling, etc.) are planned but not yet implemented, so this release will mostly be of interest for those who:

• need a fast and minimal HTTP API at roughly the same level of abstraction as Java servlets, or
• are interested in contributing to the Snap Framework project.
