OpenFlax Overview

OpenFlax is an Open Source (BSD license) web server written in 100% Erlang.

The intent of OpenFlax is provide a straightforward, well-documented implementation of an HTTP server which is easy to maintain, audit, and install securely. It also serves as a platform for experimentation, in the hopes of finding novel, elegant ways to better serve web sites.

Please note that the interface and configuration file format are subject to change at any time; until such time as a stable interface specification is finalized, you should rely on them only at your own risk.
