Mongoose, tiny C web server and library

mongoose - Mongoose - easy to use web server - Google Project Hosting

Just saw this. The site says Mongoose is very small, written in C, and can be used both standalone and  as a library, to embed a web server in your applications. Seems potentially useful.

I had blogged about an IBM developerWorks article by Cameron Laird about lightweight web servers earlier, on this blog, IIRC.

The area interests me because it seems to have a lot of possibilities. And much earlier, I had blogged about web servers running on mobile phones, on my earlier blog,  jugad's Journal - http://jugad.livejournal.com.  The point of that is that it enables phones to act as web servers, not just as clients. That could open up a lot of new applications and spur innovation.

Wonder what would happen if Mongoose met  Python?

Sorry, couldn't resist :-)

I actually meant it in a good sense, as in, if someone develops a Python binding for Mongoose, since it is a library. That could lead to a lot more usage of it.
