In reply to my own long post (sorry), I'd love to see (maybe even do

of all those http servers and server interfaces.
Right, Nanoki sports a pure Lua HTTP module:
http://dev.alt.textdrive.com/browser/HTTP/HTTP.lua
That module provides HTTP handling in pure Lua. It's only external
dependency being Lua's own io API (e.g. file:read, etc ).
The TCP/IP handling is done at another level altogether, either
internally using LuaSocket, with something like TCPServer:
http://dev.alt.textdrive.com/browser/HTTP/TCPServer.lua
Or externally, with something like D. J. Bernstein's tcpserver
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html
Or... anything that can provide an io API really...
Something like Nanoki[1] but with OS threads.
More or less relevant quote:
"... we did not (and still do not) believe in the standard
multithreading model, which is preemptive concurrency with shared
memory: we still think that no one can write correct programs in a
language where ‘a=a+1’ is not deterministic."
