short story: athttpd is stable, but orphaned. If someone wants to step up and take the reins this is as good an oportunity as any.
athttpd has been living on www.ecosforge.net for a while. There are no changes(to my knowledge) that are in eCos CVS and not on www.ecosforge.net and the athttpd version in eCos CVS is *very* dated by now. The situation is now that we (Zylin) is phasing out athttpd(which served us well) in favour of libmicrohttpd, which works out of the box with eCos and has an LGPL license and also works w/uClinux, Linux, etc. From a performance/size point of view, I don't honestly know the differences between athttpd/libmicrohttpd, because we have never worked on a project where it mattered. Another advantage of libmicrohttpd is that the evident user base is vastly larger than for athttpd. Adding Jim Tcl support, as we have done, to libmicrohttpd is trivial and possibly best done in the actual application using libmicrohttpd. -- Øyvind Harboe Embedded software and hardware consulting services http://www.zylin.com -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
