Can add this to the list like thttpd.

Something I keep thinking I'll build is a fast, high connection count, limited HTTP server, something that is essentially a wrapper around a program that works like 'regular' and emits HTML. It is a corner case in a custom corner, but the target it something which is essentially a 'transponder.'

In the 'Internet of Things' I want to build a wrapper/environment such that my program can be

  main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    uint16_t sense;
    uint16_t chan;
   
    sense = adc_read(atoi(argv[1]));
    printf("Sensor %d reads : %d\n", chan, sense);
  }

And then link my 'wrap around web server on it' and then it can be accessed with wget 'http://ip:port/?1' have it do the right thing.

The keys are low memory footprint, lots of connections, easily wrapped around a 'regular' program.
