Eyre is the web-server vane that handles client-facing HTTP operations. Unix sends HTTP messages though to Eyre and Eyre produces HTTP messages in response. It is the counterpart to Iris, which is the server-facing HTTP vane.

In general, apps and vanes do not call Eyre; rather, Eyre calls apps and vanes. Eyre uses Ford and Gall to functionally publish pages and facilitate communication with apps.

Eyre is located at /base/sys/vane/eyre.hoon within Arvo.
