## Short Intro
VNLib.Webserver is a runtime host for http or "web" bassed server applications. As a standalone application, it can only do basic http file processing via virtual hosts similar to nginx and appache, but when plugins are configured, it becomes a highly versitlile dynamic server application. VNLib.WebServer inclues only the bare minimum binaries for any application, and is infinitly expandable using dynamic assembly loading.
### Some features
- HTTP 0.9-1.1 support with granular control over http and tcp settings
- Virtual Hosts: many-to-many hostname-transport configuration (similar to nginx)
- Strong TLS support using .NET SslStream library
- Static file processing
- JSON and Yaml coniguration language support
- CORS resource support and protections
- Per-host error file caching (ex: 403, 404)
- IP based whitelist and blacklist
- File protection by extension
- File path probing/autocomplete (ex: / -> /index.html or / -> custom_file.ext)
- Primitive file http cache control
- Optional console command listener for issuing control commands
- HTTP compression with external library and Brotli as a built-in fallback
- HTTP range support for files
