IIUC, libev uses libevent code for HTTP through a compatibility layer. libevent has only very basic functionality. E.g. I couldn't see a mention of POST requests anywhere. libmicrohttpd at least abstracts this to the point where I only have to provide a callback to consume buffers with data.
Also, libevent/libev are about abstracting event loops. Since journald is linux only, this extra abstraction layer is not very useful. > libevent http library is linked to openssl. Are you saying that openssl is better?
