Unicorn - Rack HTTP server for fast clients and Unix

•    Ruby

---

Unicorn is an HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels. Load balancing is done entirely by the operating system kernel. Requests never pile up behind a busy worker process. Does not care if your application is thread-safe or not, workers all run within their own isolated address space and only serve one client at a time for maximum robustness.

http-parser - http request/response parser for c

•    C

---

This is a parser for HTTP messages written in C. It parses both requests and responses. The parser is designed to be used in performance HTTP applications. It does not make any syscalls nor allocations, it does not buffer data, it can be interrupted at anytime. Depending on your architecture, it only requires about 40 bytes of data per message stream (in a web server that is per connection).

Requests - Python HTTP Requests for Humans

•    Python

---

Requests allows you to send organic, grass-fed HTTP/1.1 requests, without the need for manual labor. There's no need to manually add query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your POST data. Keep-alive and HTTP connection pooling are 100% automatic, thanks to urllib3. Requests is one of the most downloaded Python packages of all time, pulling in over 11,000,000 downloads every month.

aiohttp - Async http client/server framework (asyncio)

•    Python

---

For this release we completely refactored low-level implementation of http handling. Finally uvloop gives performance improvement. Overall performance improvement should be around 70-90% compared to 1.x version.We took opportunity to refactor long standing api design problems across whole package. Client exceptions handling has been cleaned up and now much more straight forward. Client payload management simplified and allows to extend with any custom type. Client connection pool implementation has been redesigned as well, now there is no need for actively releasing response objects, aiohttp handles connection release automatically.

toxy - Hackable HTTP proxy for resiliency testing and simulated network conditions

•    Javascript

---

Hackable HTTP proxy to simulate server failure scenarios, resiliency and unexpected network conditions, built for node.js.It was mainly designed for failure resistance testing, when toxy becomes particularly useful in order to cover fault tolerance and resiliency capabilities of a system, especially in disruption-tolerant networks and service-oriented architectures, where toxy may act as MitM proxy among services in order to inject failure.
