I want to build a restful (CoAP) web service which can execute c code to handle events.
Therefore I'm searching a lib which provides me with a rest api in C and cgi similar to restcgi which is sadly in c++ or CGI-Simple which is in perl.
The server is running on a embedded device so it has very limited resources and the services will be accessed only by machines.
Thank you very much.
You may be interested in Raphters framework and its architecture. It's pretty small, so you can examine the code, the framework itself can be used as a FastCGI backend for some web server, e.g. for nginx.
I have recently came across one quite interesting CoAP library which uses libevent. You will aslo want to check Klone embeddable HTTP server by the same guys at KoanLogic. I have previously looked at libcoap, but it didn't find it very usable at the time. You may also wish to try using either libuv, libev or (libevent)[http://libevent.org]. But I guess it's probably gonna be much easier to adopt some of the code from WT repository and get your CoAP/HTTP server done.
