libmicrohttpd
brew install libmicrohttpd
v1.0.5
LGPL-2.1-or-later
GNU C library for embedding HTTP/1.1 server functionality into applications.
Why you might care
Lightweight, embeddable HTTP server library ideal for adding minimal web interfaces to CLI tools, daemons, or services without pulling in heavy dependencies. Used as a build dependency by tools needing to expose HTTP endpoints; smaller and more focused than full web frameworks.
