Various ways of writing a http server in rust

Learning non-blocking IO in Rust

Exploring various ways of doing non-blocking IO in Rust by writing http servers.

Contents:

• src/bin/http_mio_st.rs - uses a hand-written single-threaded event loop driven by mio::Poll.
• src/bin/http_mio_mt.rs - uses a hand-written event loop driven by mio::Poll with tasks executed in multiple threads. This server has the best performance.
• src/bin/http_tokio.rs - uses tokio and futures v0.1
• src/bin/http_tokio_async_await.rs - uses tokio preview and async-await.
• src/bin/http_minitokio.rs - uses a tokio-like multithreaded runtime for executing async-await futures. See src/minitokio.rs.

Also, for comparison, contains:

• src/bin/http_blocking_st.rs - a single-threaded blocking server.
• src/bin/http_blocking_mt.rs - a thread-per-connection blocking server.
• src/bin/http_blocking_tp.rs - a blocking server that uses several threads that all accept connections from a single listening socket to balance load.
