http-server – advanced async HTTP server library

http-server is a non-blocking, concurrent HTTP application server for PHP. It is part of AMPHP, a collection of event-driven libraries designed with fibers and concurrency in mind.

Built on the Revolt event loop and Amp’s non-blocking concurrency primitives, http-server supports HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 applications. Requests are handled concurrently using coroutines, allowing other requests to progress while handlers wait on non-blocking I/O.

This is free and open source software.
