Package: HTTP-Kit
System name: http-kit
Type: non-GNU

Description:
HTTP-Kit is an implementation of HTTP/1.1, written in Java.  Its main intent is 
not to recreate another generic web browser or a web server, but rather to 
allow software developers to specialize HTTP for their  applications.  For 
example, the Storm project uses HTTP-Kit to implement HTTP access to a Storm 
pool.  

HTTP-Kit provides infrastructure needed to implement a HTTP client and a HTTP 
server.  This infrastructure is partially shared by the client and server, and 
HTTP-Kit exploits this by sharing code and interfaces betwee n its server and 
client parts.  In a sense, HTTP-Kit is similar to servlet engines, but HTTP-Kit 
differs from them in also providing support for HTTP clients.

HTTP-Kit is currently a part of Storm (see 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/storm/storm/org/nongnu/storm/http/). 
I am splitting it off as a separate project with the consent of the Storm 
developers, since it is useful also outside of Storm.



Other Software Required:
A Java virtual machine and standard classes, for example SableVM 
(http://www.sablevm.org/).

Other Comments:
The software is already hosted in Savannah, this is just to split it into a 
separate project.
