21 Usage

22 -----

23 See ``src/main.c`` as an example on how to use libtinyweb, and read the header

24 file ``libtinyweb/src/tinyweb.h`` which is very simple, and heavily commented.

26 It will serve everything under the current working directory. Default port is

29 Bugs

30 ----

31 Issues that I intend to fix or improve at some point:

32

33 - Only GET and HEAD HTTP requests are currently implemented.

34 - Doesn't support partial downloads.

35 - It's supposed to be cross platform, but it isn't yet (UNIX only).

36

37 Issues that are the way they are by design:

38

39 - Tinywebd is not really a daemon (doesn't release controlling terminal).

40 - Doesn't scale well to lots of simultaneous clients (to keep it simple).
