A web server for the Snap Framework.
Snap is a simple and fast web development framework and server written in Haskell. For more information or to download the latest version, you can visit the Snap project website at http://snapframework.com/.
The Snap HTTP server is a high performance web server library written in Haskell. Together with the snap-core library upon which it depends, it provides a clean and efficient Haskell programming interface to the HTTP protocol.

Building snap-server
Dependencies
To build the Snap HTTP server, you need to cabal install the snap-core library (which should have come with this package).
Optional dependencies
If you would like SSL support, snap-server requires the openssl library.
Building snap-server
The snap-server library is built using Cabal and Hackage. Just run
cabal install
to install snap-server.
If you would like SSL support, pass the openssl flag to cabal install:
cabal install -fopenssl
Building the Haddock Documentation
The haddock documentation can be built using the supplied haddock.sh shell script:
./haddock.sh
The docs get put in dist/doc/html/.
Building the testsuite
The snap-server has a fairly comprehensive test suite. To build and run it, cd into the test/ directory and run
$ cabal configure # for the stock backend, or..
$ cabal configure -fopenssl # for the SSL backend
$ cabal build
From here you can invoke the testsuite by running:
$ ./runTestsAndCoverage.sh
The testsuite generates an hpc test coverage report in test/dist/hpc.
