Webservers and tools around it

ExecWrap is a super-user exec wrapper for the lighttpd web-server, but it can
be used in any environment as long as arguments can be passed from the server
to its children via the environment.

HAProxy implements an event-driven, mono-process model which enables support
for very high number of simultaneous connections at very high speeds.
Multi-process or multi-threaded models can rarely cope with thousands of
connections because of memory limits, system scheduler limits, and lock
contention everywhere. Event-driven models do not have these problems because
implementing all the tasks in user-space allows a finer resource and time
management. The down side is that those programs generally don't scale well on
multi-processor systems. That's the reason why they must be optimized to get
the most work done from every CPU cycle.

HATop's appearance is similar to top(1). It supports various modes
for detailed statistics of all configured proxies and services in near
realtime. In addition, it features an interactive CLI for the haproxy
unix socket. This allows administrators to control the given haproxy
instance (change server weight, put servers into maintenance mode, ...)
directly out of hatop and monitor the results immediately.

http_load runs multiple http fetches in parallel, to test the throughput of a
web server. However unlike most such test clients, it runs in a single process,
so it doesn't bog down the client machine. It can be configured to do https
fetches as well.

Httperf is a tool for measuring web server performance. It provides a flexible
facility for generating various HTTP workloads and for measuring server
performance. The focus of httperf is not on implementing one particular
benchmark but on providing a robust, high-performance tool that facilitates the
construction of both micro- and macro-level benchmarks. The three
distinguishing characteristics of httperf are its robustness, which includes
the ability to generate and sustain server overload, support for the HTTP/1.1
and SSL protocols, and its extensibility to new workload generators and
performance measurements.

aggregate from devel:libraries:c_c++ for SLE

litmus is a WebDAV server test suite, which aims to test whether a
server is compliant with the WebDAV protocol as specified in RFC2518;
current tests cover:

litmus in action

* OPTIONS for DAV: header
* PUT, GET with byte comparison
* MKCOL
* DELETE (collections, non-collections)
* COPY, MOVE using combinations of:

* overwrite t/f
* destination exists/doesn't exist
* collection/non-collection

* Property manipulation and querying:

* set, delete, replace properties
* persist dead props across COPY
* namespace handling

* Locking

* attempts to modify locked resource (as lock owner, not owner)
* shared/exclusive locks
* lock discovery
* collection locking
* lock refresh

Note that a server which passes all these tests will not necessarily work
with any real DAV clients; though the chances are good. litmus is built
using the neon library, so supports digest and basic authentication,
TLS/SSL, and proxy servers.

spawn-fcgi is used to spawn FastCGI applications independent of the webserver.

switchboard is a FastCGI proxy that starts setuid FastCGI processes on demand,
in a similar manner to Apache suexec. switchboard allows mass web hosting
environments to improve security by running FastCGI scripts as the owner
instead of the web server user, without the extra overhead that suexec adds.
Its PHP support allows PHP scripts to run as FastCGI processes transparently,
without the overhead of other solutions like mod_suphp.

Traffic Server is a high-performance building block for cloud services.
It's more than just a caching proxy server; it also has support for
plugins to build large scale web applications.

Servers and Clients for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), a text-based chat system for instant messaging.

Anope is a set of Services for IRC networks that allows users to manage
their nicks and channels in a secure and efficient way, and administrators
to manage their network with powerful tools.

Bahamut is based on both DreamForge and Hybrid, the EFnet IRCd. With this new
IRCd, DALnet will now have the capability to hold more clients with less lag,
generally making it a better place to be.

CtrlProxy runs on a computer with a 24/7 internet connection and allows you to
transparently connect to IRC from anywhere on the world to your nick. It
connects to one or more IRC servers and then allows you to connect to it with
any number of clients, providing access to these servers. This is very useful
if you don't want to leave IRC but still want to be able to use it from home,
school or work.

dircproxy is an IRC proxy server ("bouncer") designed for people who use IRC
from lots of different workstations or clients, but wish to remain connected
and see what they missed while they were away. You connect to IRC through
dircproxy, and it keeps you connected to the server, even after you detach your
client from it. While you're detached, it logs channel and private messages as
well as important events, and when you reattach it'll let you know what you
missed.

The Story
Bahamut was nice, but we wanted a bit more than the standard Bahamut offered.
In the very beginning we only had small optimizations for FreeQuest, like
default hostmasking for Opers and other default settings. After a while we
started to use the bahamut-inet6 project and started to do some additions to
it.

The new FreeQuest IRCd
An entire new version of our ircd is currently being actively developed. It’s
based on the Bahamut 1.8.x tree and clientside SSL from the bahamut-inet6
project. For a brief explanation of what improvements fqircd-2.x has that
fqircd-1.x didn’t, please read below.

Features
SSL support for clients
OpenSSL encryption for server< ->server connections
+q for clients (Hostmangling, ie. hide your real host to other users) , encodes the host with MD5 sum.
+W mode for opers (Notice on WHOIS)
+S channel mode (Only SSL enabled clients)
+I channel mode (Invite Excempts)
+e channel mode (Ban Excempts)
+N channel mode (Do not recieve /INVITE notices)
+q channel mode (Only host mangled clients may enter)
CGI:IRC support
SVSJOIN support
RWHO - Regexp WHO function
MAP shows a graphic maps of all servers connected
Configurable classes for IRC Searchbots, so they don’t need to register to be able to do /LIST
All registered users can do /LIST and not registered users needs to do /FQLIST
More understandable config

LONG DESCRIPTION
HERE

ii is a minimalist FIFO and filesystem-based IRC client. It creates an irc directory tree with server, channel and nick name directories. In every directory a FIFO in file and a normal out file is created.
