It was a beefy application image, with lots of dependencies.

In yet another project we used lighttpd as request handler, while the
actual app was running as fastcgi service. HTML templates were handled
by Clearsilver, see http://www.clearsilver.net (really neat library, New BSD
license). IIRC, Clearsilver pulls in bdwgc as dependency, so there's no
hassle with memory management.

Quite recently we had yet another custom work where HTTP JSON-RPC
requests were handled using libsoup.
