spray-can

The spray-can module provides a low-level, low-overhead, high-performance HTTP server and client built on top of spray-io. Both are fully asynchronous, non-blocking and built 100% in Scala on top of Akka. Since their APIs are centered around Akka abstractions such as Actors and Futures they are very easy to integrate into your Akka-based applications.
