Let’s Build a Web Server, Part 3

Nice post and series. Here [0] is my take on the topic in Node.js (but more comparable to the Part 2 of this series).

Now that you mentioned WSGI though I'm tempted to write a post on building a client/server over that protocol too (or probably FastCGI instead).

web server tutorials should focus more on designing/building encoding/decoding pipelines. Because that's what it's really about. i/o can be disk, network, or proxing to another http client etc.

Once the web server is built, you'll realize that you need to support compressing/decompressing, or piping blobs to some other encoder/decoder.
