Webs v0.0.0-78-g9d049b1

Webs is a toolkit for programming web services in OCaml. It provides:

A generic low-level interface for defining web services in terms of HTTP request-responses cycles.
Optional service building blocks. File serving, authenticated cookies, sessions, HTML generation, etc.
Connectors. They run services and are in charge of talking to the HTTP gateway or client. CGI and HTTP/1.1 gateway connectors are provided, but you can bring your own.

Webs is a set of libraries and building blocks, not a framework.

Manuals

The Web service howto explains how to compile and run your OCaml service behind an HTTP gateway.
