The document describes Monkey, an open source HTTP server. It aims to be lightweight, fast, flexible and community-oriented while supporting embedded systems. Key features include HTTP/1.1, asynchronous sockets, Linux kernel support, multiple hardware architectures, and an indented configuration format. It uses a multi-layered architecture with worker threads for scheduling connections and tracking time. Plugins add functionality for logging, security, SSL, websockets and more. Benchmarks show it uses less memory than Nginx, Cherokee and Apache. Future plans include FastCGI, NoSQL support, URL rewriting and improved documentation. The project encourages community involvement through beta testing, artwork, documentation and coding.
