Simple-Web-Server
=================
A very simple, fast, multithreaded, platform independent HTTP and HTTPS server library implemented using C++11 and Boost.Asio. Created to be an easy way to make REST resources available from C++ applications.
A very simple, fast, multithreaded, platform independent HTTP and HTTPS server and client library implemented using C++11 and Boost.Asio. Created to be an easy way to make REST resources available from C++ applications.

* Platform independent
* HTTPS support
* HTTP persistent connection (for HTTP/1.1)
* Client supports chunked transfer encoding
* Timeouts, if any of Server::timeout_request and Server::timeout_content are >0 (default: Server::timeout_request=5 seconds, and Server::timeout_content=300 seconds)
* Simple way to add REST resources using regex for path, and anonymous functions
###Usage
See main_http.cpp or main_https.cpp for example usage.
See http_examples.cpp or https_examples.cpp for example usage.
See particularly the JSON-POST (using Boost.PropertyTree) and the GET /match/[number] examples, which are most relevant.

g++ -O3 -std=c++11 -lboost_system http_examples.cpp -o http_examples
