0.15

• fix: do not block in accept, enabling more graceful shutdown
• improve help message for tiny-httpd-vfs-pack
• security: zero out buffers from pool before reusing them

0.14

• breaking: set_top_handler takes a stream request, for more generality

• Don't let client handling threads handle SIGINT/SIGHUP

• improve termination behavior (wait for threads to terminate when shutting down server)

• Preserve client address down to Request.t

• add Tiny_httpd_io module, abstraction over IOs (output/input) as better IO channels than the stdlib's

• add Server.run_exn

• add Tiny_httpd_pool

• server: add IO_BACKEND abstraction; implement a unix version of it

• perf: use TCP_NODELAY for client sockets

• perf: use a resource pool to recycle buffers, improves memory consumption and GC pressure

0.13

• feat: Server.run takes ?after_init parameter

• remove dep on ounit2 and qtest

• expose Response.make_void

• Add OPTIONS method

• use ocamlformat on the code

• fix: SSE requires no body

• fix: get addr/port from the current socket

• fix: missing closing crlf in chunked streams

• fix: module Html was not exposed

• fix: close stream after Response.output

• fix(tiny-httpd-vfs-pack): allow redirections when fetching resources

0.12

• add dep on seq
• add a Html module with combinators to produce html
• add Tiny_httpd_dir.VFS to emulate file systems
• add a small program, tiny-httpd-vfs-pack, to pack directories and files (local or behind a URL) into a OCaml module using VFS
• show small example of socket activation

0.11

• breaking: remove deprecated path handlers based on scanf

• breaking: more getter/setters for request/response, change signatures, make request/response private aliases

• fix: release semaphore in case of exception in accept

• feat: add a notion of Middleware

• feat: add ?middlewares param to create

• feat: add ?get_time_s param to create

• feat: close connection if response's headers contains connection

• feat: store start_time in request

• feat: implement connection timeout using socket options Default is max_keep_alive = -1.0 which preserves the original behaviour.

• feat: in server-sent-events, add a close() function

• refactor(zip): compression is now a middleware

• perf: pass buf_size in many places, set default buf_size to 16kb

• example: update echo to provide a /stats/ endpoint using a middleware

0.10

• feat: allow socket activation by passing a raw unix socket to create
• fix: Unix.accept may raise an exception (typicall Unix.EINTR, even with sigpipe blocked ?), prevent the server from stopping

0.9

• support handlers that stream server-sent events to client

0.8

• bump to ocaml 4.04

• Validate header key's character set (#15)

• perf: simpler parsing of headers

• fix: workaround for css/js in http_of_dir (#16)

• fix(urlencode): encode non ascii chars

0.7

• feat: add rest_of_path_urlencoded and rename rest to rest_of_path
• feat: http_of_dir: redirect to index.html if present
• fix: http_of_dir: do not url-encode '/' in paths
• feat: add Route.rest to match the rest of the path
• feat: printing routes

0.6

• feat: add Route.t construct, deprecate scanf, add more structured path

• feat: use chunked encoding for large string responses, in addition to streams

• refactor(echo): simplify code, use gzip aggressively

• accept http1.0

• fix: do not output a content-length for a chunked response

• fix: set transfer-encoding header when returning a chunked stream

• fix(zip): handle case where camlzip consumes 0 bytes

• feat(zip): also compress string responses if they're big

• add more debug msg

0.5
