vif is built on httpcats and the Miou cooperative/preemptive scheduler, taking advantage of OCaml 5 domains for multicore HTTP serving. Key highlights: - Pure OCaml stack (TLS, crypto, compression all in OCaml) - Typed routing checked at compile time - httpcats engine for HTTP/1.1 parsing and connection management - Gzip compression via decompress (pure OCaml zlib implementation) Endpoints: baseline, pipelined, json, compression, upload, db, noisy, mixed References: - https://github.com/robur-coop/vif - https://github.com/robur-coop/httpcats - Tutorial: https://robur-coop.github.io/vif/

Closing this to reopen from my fork — branch protection on MDA2AV/HttpArena blocks pushes to fix the CI build error. Opening a new PR with the type fix from BennyFranciscus/HttpArena shortly. |

Adds vif — a simple web framework for OCaml 5 built on httpcats and the Miou cooperative/preemptive scheduler.
Why vif?
vif takes advantage of OCaml 5 multicore via Miou domains. The entire HTTP stack is pure OCaml — TLS, crypto, compression, HTTP parsing — which is pretty unique in the framework landscape. The httpcats benchmarks show impressive throughput (~7.9M req/s at 128c on Ryzen 9).
As requested by @MDA2AV in #25, this replaces the Dream entry with vif as the OCaml representative — it's the more performance-oriented choice with real multicore support.
