HTTP4D embedded http provider

Sun Apr 15 05:27:14 PDT 2012

Hi,

I have just finished the first cut of an HTTP library to provide 
application level support for HTTP (ie as a server, not a 
client).  The library provide a very simple mechanism for 
processing HTTP requests both synchronously (via delegates) and 
asynchronously (via std.concurrency) using request/response 
objects.

eg.

import std.stdio;
import protocol.http;

int main( string[] args )
{
     httpServe( "127.0.0.1", 8888,
                 (req) => req.getResponse().
                             status( 200 ).
                             header( "Content-Type", "text/html" ).
                             content( 
"<html><head></head><body>Processed ok</body></html>" ) );
     return 0;
}

The code is available on github: 
https://github.com/goughy/d/tree/master/http4d

Note that this is alpha quality code, so YMMV.  I would 
appreciate some feedback, critiques, opinions etc. - particularly 
in the area of it being "idiomatic" as I'm still finding my feet 
in the D language.

The good thing is without any real performance tuning, I can push 
through over 23,000 requests per second, and I'm sure there is 
plenty of room for improvement.

Cheers.
