I am thinking of the next steps for a project I have written. It is currently a desktop application that controls a serial port device.
I am considering allowing browser clients to connect to some process to get "near real time" updates about the state, etc of the device. Possibly also allowing control from a browser client.
I'd rather not write my own webserver from scratch and this would be a very scaled down web server.
Any suggestions on where to look?
I'd prefer C++ or C# implementation.

An open source web server is a public-domain software designed to deliver web pages over the World Wide Web. Like proprietary web server software, it runs on a computer that is connected to the internet uniquely identified by an IP address.

Here's another alternative I wrote last year and and has served me well.
EmbedIO: https://github.com/unosquare/embedio
I use it mostly to create RESTful services on the Raspberry Pi (soft-float). It's MIT licensed too.

nginx is very lightweight and very scalable (e.g. see Wordpress's story for a high-profile case). POSIX-only.
