Libevhtp was created as a replacement API for Libevent's current HTTP
API. The reality of libevent's http interface is that it was created
as a JIT server, meaning the developer never thought of it being used
for creating a full-fledged HTTP service. Infact I am under the
impression that the libevent http API was designed almost as an
example of what you can do with libevent. It's not Apache in a box,
but more and more developers are attempting to use it as so.
