What is libpion-5.0
libpion-5.0 is:
pion is not intended to implement yet another web server, but to provide HTTP(S) functionality to new or existing C++ applications. If you’re looking for a full-featured server application, check out Apache or lighttpd. If you’re working on a Boost C++ application and would just like to use HTTP to provide a simple user interface or interact with run-time data, then pion is a clean and simple solution.
Pion Network Library uses the Boost and asio libraries for multi-threading and asynchronous I/O. This allows servers implemented using pion to handle many thousands of connections simultaneously with a single physical server.
pion also supports server-side SSL & TLS encryption when built with the OpenSSL library (which the Debian package is).
This package includes the pion runtime files.
