# Packeteer
Packeteer is a library that can handle structurally organising protocol packets like HTTP 1.x requests and responses as well as generating, structuring, unpacking and potentially more features depending on the protocol.
## Supported protocols
* HTTP/1.x
* Gemini
* FTP
* DNS
## What Packeteer is _not_
* a TCP/UDP stream handling library
* a server
* a protocol client
* the only way to do this, probably
## A note on licensing
This library changed from the LGPLv3 to MPLv2 as a result of LGPL's requirements for freedom of source on static linking which rustc does.
I've chosen to use the MPL as it is a weaker but still copyleft license that allows you to statically link.
The MPL applies retroactively to all previous versions of this library and will be used for all future versions.
