history
Project history and usage
Mighttpd2, invoked as mighty, is Kazu Yamamoto's Haskell HTTP server. Its home page describes it as a simple but practical file and CGI web server written in Haskell, implemented as a WAI application on Warp. The project is packaged with helper executables such as mighty-mkindex and mightyctl, reflecting its focus on serving static files, prebuilt directory indexes, and CGI workloads rather than being a broad application framework.
Project history
The project's technical identity is Haskell web-server experimentation made usable as a daemon: the home page lists static file serving, CGI GET and POST handling, redirection, language negotiation, reverse proxying, URL rewriting via HTTP redirects, and performance comparisons against nginx in a httperf ping-pong benchmark. Its documentation links to articles and slides about high-performance web servers, WAI/Warp, and the architecture of Mighttpd, tying the package to the Haskell networking ecosystem.
How it is used
In package-manager terms, mighttpd2 is a niche web server for users who want a Warp/WAI-based standalone server for static and CGI content. It is much narrower than nginx, Apache httpd, or Caddy, but useful as a small Haskell-native server and as an example of deploying Haskell's high-concurrency HTTP stack.
