Can anyone suggest me some open source lightweight embeddable web servers written in C.

Also provide your opinion / review about the suggestion.

This is not a programming question. – unwind Dec 2 '10 at 10:11
@unwind, yes it is. An embedded web server is basically a web server library. However, this is a duplicate of [Open Source C/C++ embedded web server ](stackoverflow.com/questions/738273/…;. – Matthew Flaschen Dec 2 '10 at 10:15
@unwind, I basically wish to embed this web server into my hardware and then wish to provide a web interface for it.. Since I wanted efficiency with very small footprint, I thought of asking it here, as there would be few genius minds who would have done this / heard of this before... Hope i am clear now.. – Mahendra Liya Dec 2 '10 at 10:23
This will likely depend very much on what the embedded OS is and/or what interfaces you have for things like loading files or running other programs. There are several open source web servers, but they all rely on some underlying system. – nategoose Dec 2 '10 at 18:20

I use uIP (http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page) and have done a few modifications to it. Adam (the author) also wrote lwip as a more full-featured web server, but it takes significantly more resources.
