Hey,

With the initial Nimbus release out, we're back to working on features - this 
is good news for chronos, because we've finally been able to put in place some 
more nice pieces of the puzzle: we now have both a minimal HTTP(S) client and 
server in beta :)

Some features:

  * Security first - we will be using the server in Nimbus which along with the 
rest of the code (eventually) goes through review, audit and scrutiny, being 
covered by security bounties
  * SSL out of the box, no separate openssl library needed on any platform
  * Cancellation support
  * Initial support for exception effect tracking (more to come)
  * Low memory footprint



In Nimbus, chronos above all drives the peer-to-peer networking through 
[nim-libp2p](https://github.com/status-im/nim-libp2p) \- our first uses of the 
web server is to expose [metrics](https://github.com/status-im/nim-metrics) and 
a [REST API](https://github.com/status-im/nim-presto/) in addition to the 
existing [JSON-RPC](https://github.com/status-im/nim-json-rpc/) server. Next up 
is likely WebSockets support, such that libp2p can learn to interop with 
browsers more smoothly :)

If you're looking for something more of a web framework, bung87's been at it 
with a chronos-based one - [scorper](https://github.com/bung87/scorper/) \- 
make sure to check that out as well!
