Currently w::format only does plain interpolation. It would be great if it could support syntax like this:

w::format("{0:.2}", 123); // => "0.00"

The format options should be per-interpolation, so the same argument can be interpolated multiple times with different format arguments:

w::format("{0:09.2} <=> {0:+x}", 10); // => "000000010.00 <=> +0xa"

For numbers (both integers and floats), all the options of POSIX printf should be supported. If a float-options is given to with an integer argument, or vice versa, the input value should be static_cast'ed to the appropriate type before interpolation.

Hexadecimal presentation formats should reinterpret_cast the input to a matching integer representation.

The readme doesn't say anything about w's [in]stability, though the website mentions it's not stable. Is the website out of date, or is the readme missing the same disclaimer? How stable is w?

Howdy!

Before suggesting a fork of wayward into perhaps a dedicated org so that others can keep the ball rolling on some of these open PRs and perhaps continue the work you've done I'd just like to ask whether you've lost the time or interest in continuing work on wayward. If so, what happened? Something upstream? Something in the core design?
There are not a lot of C++ http service implementations built around libevent/libevhtp and I think it makes this project rather valuable.

Addressing #10 in particular would be very helpful.

With the these commands,

$ git clone https://github.com/simonask/w.git --recursive
$ cd w
$ scons -j8

I get the following error message from scons:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
TypeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute '__getitem__':
  File "<PATH_TO>/w/SConstruct", line 97:

  File "<PATH_TO>/w/wayward_build.py", line 37:

I'm running Arch linux with Scons 2.3.2.

Libevhtp, the current HTTP library based on libevent, does not seem to parse multipart form data, which is the default for browsers. It is also required when doing things like file uploads.

Possible solutions:

• Wait for libevhtp2 to implement multipart/form-data.
• Fork libevhtp and implement it ourselves.
• Implement our own HTTP parser on top of libevent.

I'd like to reuse/port some of parts your code for use in an open source library for embedded devices.
Can you please specify a license (anything not GPL-ish would be great, I prefer to use MIT), so that I can give proper credit?
