What sort of license do you prefer?

You can find my effort, which uses a Boost.Spirit parser to parse HTTP 
requests, here:  
https://svn.chezphil.org/libpbe/trunk/include/HttpDaemon.hh.  I doubt 
it will meet you "quality and calibre" requirements thought...

There is a C++ module for Apache, but it doesn't seem to have been 
updated for Apache 2.2.

AppWeb might be worth a look - it seems to be more C++-friendly than 
some of the alternative "light weight" HTTP servers.

Phil.
