About:
Mighttpd2 is a high-performance, multi-threaded HTTP server written in Haskell. It leverages lightweight threads for efficient concurrency, enabling it to handle a large number of simultaneous connections with minimal resource overhead. The server is designed for reliability and speed, making it suitable for serving static files and acting as a reverse proxy.
Key Features:
  • High concurrency using lightweight Haskell threads
  • Low memory footprint and efficient resource usage
  • Support for reverse proxying and static file serving
  • Configurable via a simple text-based configuration file
Use Cases:
  • Hosting high-traffic static websites
  • Acting as a reverse proxy for backend web applications
  • Embedded systems requiring a lightweight web server
Alternatives:
  • nginx – Nginx is a widely adopted, feature-rich server, whereas Mighttpd2 offers a lightweight, Haskell-native alternative with a smaller footprint.
  • apache-httpd – Apache is highly extensible via modules; Mighttpd2 focuses on pure Haskell performance and concurrency.
