Major memory leak introduced at 3089394.

Should be moved into separate files probably.

Please add a license.

This could be a nice little libuv http server on its own, never mind the redirect stuff/leveldb.

prototyped everything in header file. LIKE A FUCKING BOZ.

Provide a way for users to add headers to a request.

I am super curious as to the details of why exactly the simple example in the README outperforms node.js. More than just the high level "it doesn't have to do as much".

I probably am not the only one that is wondering this after seeing the README at its current version.
So I was thinking that some short explanation could be added or linked to in the README for those that are curious.

I know that the performance section says Without any real statistical significance but I'm not sure what to make of that. Is there a test we could run that we could stand by and say is "statistically significant"?

If an explanation isn't warranted on the README inline maybe we could add a wiki page and link to it on the README?

If anybody has any pointers or links that shed light on this I could take a crack at it but I don't have any experience with libuv.

Hi @heapwolf and @bengl,
I stumbled across this promising lib to add HTTP client functionality to my libuv based application.
Is there any reason, why this fixcontextbug branch is not merged to master?

Thanks a lot.

It would be awesome if you could use a regular expression or a plain url and mount it with to a callback.

hs.Mount("/hello", [](Request &req, Response &req) {
    res.setStatus(200);
    res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");
    res.setHeader("Connection", "keep-alive");
    res << req.method << " " << req.url << endl;
});

Gyp files are a mess anyway.

Would be nice to use something from the clib community for this.

Maintain a master event loop that handles inbound connections. Then dispatch the connection to a slave loop which does the actual work. I think you might be able to achieve much better concurrency this way instead of using libuv's threadpool implementation.
