How different in this HTTP stack from other pre-existing HTTP implementations?

This HTTP stack is a screaming-fast, scalable, asynchronous HTTP implementation. While all the other "screaming-fast" implementation looks on improving the performance of processing the code faster. This stack looks to improve the performace of HTTP request and response through various network protocols and it's adaptations. For example, TCP FASTOPEN etc.

Currently supported features:

• HTTP 1.1 cli client and server (shows header and body buffer).
• Client and server suppots HTTP GET method.
• TCP FASTOPEN.

How a request looks like:

GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE5.01; Windows NT)
Host: www.example.com
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: Keep-Alive

How a response look like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Tornado/4.3
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 14:19:11 GMT
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 13
