gluten

gluten implements platform specific runtime code for driving network libraries based on state machines, such as http/af, h2 and websocketaf.

It also additionally provides a self-contained solution for upgrading a connection to a different protocol, which can easily be used to implement HTTP/1.1 upgrades to Websockets, or to start HTTP/2 communication over the h2c (HTTP/2 over plaintext TCP) upgrade mechanism.
