qthttpserver

brew install qthttpserver v6.11.1 GPL-3.0-only AND BSD-3-Clause

Qt framework module for embedding HTTP servers in Qt applications.

Why you might care

If you're building a Qt GUI or service that needs to expose an HTTP API or web interface, this provides the official Qt-integrated HTTP server without external dependencies. It's a build/runtime dependency for Qt applications requiring HTTP capabilities, and integrates seamlessly with Qt's signal/slot architecture and event loop.
