Deep transforms the older Ming Server and Ming BlogServer (which are written in Python and still available on pypi) into a faster implementation in C and Lua. The code itself is 61% smaller and up to 400% faster. Deep delivers everything HTML can deliver, handles forms and file creation securely, and adds the CGI capability of Lua. It includes browser-based monitoring, download limits, internal logging, and localization.
Changes: A NO_BOTS mechanism was added, which if set to true, sends only a short BLURB to non-human HTTP requests. BOT_DAY can be set to allow bots in once a week. Also, "analyze", a Python script for parsing a deep server’s Apache log was added.
