httpjet

httpjet is an experimental Linux web server written in Rust. It reads LiteSpeed-compatible XML, speaks LSAPI to lsphp, and supports H1/H2/H3, TLS, static files, proxying, rewrites, compression, and an opt-in page cache.

It is early-stage software built around one production configuration. Test on alternate ports before using it elsewhere.

httpjet powers WindowsForum.com in production. Learn more—or at least enjoy the animation—at httpjet.net.

Build and try it

Requires Linux with io_uring and Rust 1.97+.

git clone https://github.com/faratech/httpjet.git
cd httpjet
cargo build --release -p httpjet
target/release/httpjet --root "$PWD/examples/litespeed" check --strict
target/release/httpjet --root "$PWD/examples/litespeed" serve \
  --http-addr 127.0.0.1:8080 --https-addr "" --workers 1 --no-php
curl -H 'Host: example.test' http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Use --root with an existing LiteSpeed configuration tree. Run httpjet serve --help for runtime options.

Development

The httpjet binary is under crates/httpjet; reusable components are the hj-* crates.

cargo fmt --all --check
cargo check -p httpjet --bin httpjet
