### Compile and run
Compile with a C++11 compiler supporting regex (for instance g++ 4.9):
On Linux using g++: add `-pthread`
Note: added `-lboost_filesystem` for the default_resource example, and `-lboost_thread` to make the json-example thread safe. Also added `-lboost_coroutine -lboost_context` to make synchronous flushing of response stream work. On some systems you might have to use postfix `-mt` to link to these libraries.
You can now also compile using CMake and make:
```
cmake .
make

Run the server and client examples: `./http_examples`

#### HTTPS

Before running the server, an RSA private key (server.key) and an SSL certificate (server.crt) must be created. Follow, for instance, the instructions given here (for a self-signed certificate): http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html
