What about this: I will install civetweb on distros where it exists, and we use those. For platforms where it doesn't exist we use the builtin. 👍 👎 ? |

Most probably civetweb from distros compiled without websocket support and therefore unusable for us. |

This is how opensuse build civetweb: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:http/civetweb It uses wrong build flags and enables mostly nothing. |
Also finalize at the end. Not really necessary, but to stay conform with API
When external civetweb package is used, it can be compiled without important options. Add necesary checks before starting http server
On opensuse platform one observe failures calling R__memcompress from civetweb request handler. Disable zipping of content for a time been.

For instance, does not work on OpenSUSE, where civetweb compiled without websockets
