[PATCH 00/13] Replace mongoose with civetweb.

[Christian Mauderer]

Essentially I agree that it would be nice to build civetweb as an
external library especially with the different network stacks in mind.
But there are some points that keep me from doing it:

1. I have really no Idea what would be necessary to build it as an
upstream project using RSB. If that are only something like three simple
steps, it should be possible to squeeze it in the little time budget
that is left for the project. If I first have to analyze and change a
lot of RSB, it would be challenging.

Chris, I think you know the RSB best: What steps do you think would be
necessary?

2. Currently there is one test case for mghttpd (libtests/mghttpd01).
This is one of the few tests that check some networking functions in
RTEMS. Further we should not loose the ability to test software when it
is build with RSB. How would we handle tests for software in RSB?

Kind regards

Christian Mauderer
