httpserver

Overview ¶

Package httpserver provides the `httpserver` native module — an HTTP *server* to complement the client-only `http` module.

Concurrency model: the.lsc VM is single-threaded and not safe for concurrent access, but net/http dispatches every request on its own goroutine. This module bridges the two with a serialized design:

• `server:listen(addr)` BLOCKS on the calling (VM) goroutine and runs a loop that is the *only* place Lua handlers are ever invoked.
• net/http's per-request goroutines merely marshal the request into a Lua table, push a job onto a channel, and block waiting for the reply. They never touch the VM.

As a result every handler runs serially on the VM goroutine — simple and race-free, at the cost of no request-level parallelism.
