<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">I would like to provide some additional detail to the discussion on November 4 (which I missed since I joined recently).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">The team pointed out this thread in Kitura which I initially opened:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Here is the referenced Swift http_parser project which I initially ported as a thought experiment. The goals, API and performance are described in the readme.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Michael Gottesman from Apple (@gottesmm) contacted me 2 weeks ago to see if we could add the project into the Swift Benchmark Suite. See the bottom of this PR for the request:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><a href="https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura-net/pull/55">https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura-net/pull/55</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Michael and I approached the Node.js Foundation to see if they were willing to dual license http_parser under Apache 2 so it would be compatible with the Swift license. Here is that discussion, but in
summary, a dual license is not realistic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><a href="https://github.com/nodejs/http-parser/issues/344">https://github.com/nodejs/http-parser/issues/344</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">So, a http_parser Swift port:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">- Would not have the proper license to be included in Swift<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">- Does not take full advantage of Swift<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">- Has the issues previously pointed out (UnsafePointers, asserts, throws simulating gotos)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">- Does, however, demonstrate a Swift HTTP parser performance of 500K requests per second<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Looking forward to meeting everyone on our call tomorrow. Hopefully this detail was helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
