For lack of a better we'll call it Sneaky.

This code would have not been possible without CherryPy wsgiserver,
a great example of Python web server.

- This code implements WSGI
- This code is API compatible with cherrypy
- It consists of less than 260 lines of code
- It is multi-threaded
- The number of threads changes dynamically between a min and a max
- Can handle chunking (request and response) [to be tested]
- supports SSL via the Cherrypy ssl adaptors

You can find an example of usage at the bottom of this file.

here are some tests and comparisons performed by Garrett Smith

RPS = requests per second
Time = average time in milliseconds to server each request
Benchmark = `ab -t 10 -c <number of concurrent requests>-r http://localhost`
