Open Source C HTTP Clients

Like libevent, libev, and libuv, libhv provides event loop with non-blocking IO and timer, but simpler api and richer protocols. Cross-platform (Linux, Windows, MacOS, BSD, Solaris, Android, iOS) High-performance EventLoop (IO, timer, idle, custom) TCP/UDP client/server/proxy. TCP supports heartbeat, reconnect, upstream, MultiThread-safe write and close, etc. Built-in common unpacking modes (FixedLength, Delimiter, LengthField) RUDP support: WITH_KCP. SSL/TLS support: (via WITH_OPENSSL or WITH_GNUTLS or WITH_MBEDTLS) HTTP client/server (support https http1/x http2 grpc). HTTP supports static service, indexof service, proxy service, sync/async API handler. HTTP supports RESTful, router, middleware, keep-alive, chunked, SSE, etc. WebSocket client/server.

Highly portable API written in C that implements the client side of the HTTP 1.1 Protocol as Defined in RFC 2616,2617. Can be easily ported to any platform that supports standard C calls and Berkeley sockets.

Advanced C/C++ library(ACL) for UNIX-like OS and WIN32 OS, including sync/async/ssl iostream for net/file, thread pool, process pool, db pool, server framework, event, memory, string, array/hash/ring/list, xml and json parser, http/smtp/icmp protocol, SSL/TLS, C unit test, etc
