This basically turns off the HTTP layer for Kore. It does not compile in anything for HTTP. This allows Kore to be used as a network application platform as well. Added an example for this called nohttp. Other changes that sneaked in while hacking on this: * Use calloc(), kill pendantic malloc option. * Killed off SPDY/3.1 support completely, will be superseded by http2 Note that comes with massive changes to a lot of the core API functions provided by Kore, these might break your application.

Building Kore
Requirements
- openssl (latest is always the safest bet, right?) (note: this requirement drops away when building with NOTLS=1 NOHTTP=1)
Requirements for background tasks (optional)
- pthreads
Requirements for pgsql (optional)
- libpq
Normal compilation and installation:
# cd kore
# make
# make install
If you would like to build a specific flavor, you can enable those by setting a shell environment variable before running make.
- TASKS=1 (compiles in task support)
- PGSQL=1 (compiles in pgsql support)
- DEBUG=1 (enables use of -d for debug)
- NOTLS=1 (compiles Kore without TLS)
- NOHTTP=1 (compiles Kore without HTTP support)
Example libraries
You can find example libraries under examples/.
The examples contain a README file with instructions on how to build or use them.
I apologize for unclear examples or documentation, I am working on improving those.
