[libmicrohttpd] MHD and lwIP?

[Giordon Stark]

Hi folks,

I've got a Xilinx chip on which the lwIP is provided as part of the SDK. I have two particular goals with this chip:

1. set up a UDP server on port X to receive and respond with messages
2. set up an HTTP server on port Y that provides a RESTful API

Goal #1 - I believe I can do this using just lwIP and bind a socket with a receive callback function and handle sending messages back (I presume client information such as IP address is easily attainable)

Goal #2 - It seems like I could create a socket for this, but it seems like a lot of work to parse the incoming strings and so on. So in lieu of this, I want to see if using MHD is a better idea [I bet it is], and how would I go about doing this?

Thanks!
