A lightweight and portable HTTP/HTTPs web server written in C:
- New 1.0.0 version: Single thread server with configurable number of thread pool workers, good for scalability
- Initial goal is for embedded Linux, but can be used as general purpose web server.
- Support SSL via open SSL, database via Sqlite 3, web socket integrated
- It is also extensible via its extensions mechanism that allows to extends the server capability.
## Plugins:

* Lua extension [https://github.com/lxsang/antd-lua-plugin](https://github.com/lxsang/antd-lua-plugin): using Lua as serverside script
* PHP extension [https://github.com/lxsang/antd-ph7-plugin](https://github.com/lxsang/antd-ph7-plugin): using PHP as serverside script
* Web terminal [https://github.com/lxsang/antd-wterm-plugin](https://github.com/lxsang/antd-wterm-plugin): plugin for using Unix terminal from the web via websocket

## Build from source
### build dep
* git
* make
* build-essential
### server dependencies
* libssl-dev
* libsqlite3-dev
### build
When all dependencies are installed, the build can be done with a few single command lines:
```bash
mkdir antd
cd antd
# build without plugin
wget -O- https://get.makeand.run/antd | bash -s ""
```
The script will ask for a place to put the binaries (should be an absolute path, otherwise the build will fail) and the default HTTP port for the server config.
