Simple-Web-Server
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
A very simple, fast, multithreaded and platform independent HTTP server implemented using C++11 and Boost.Asio. Created to be an easy way to make REST resources available from C++ applications.
|
|
|
|
### Features
|
|
|
|
* Thread pool
|
|
* Platform independent
|
|
* HTTP persistent connection (for HTTP/1.1)
|
|
* Simple way to add REST resources using regex for path, and anonymous functions
|
|
|
|
HTTPS is not yet supported, but take a look at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp03/ssl/server.cpp. It does not seem that server.hpp and server.cpp require significant modifications to support HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
###Usage
|
|
|
|
See main.cpp for example usage.
|
|
|
|
### Dependency
|
|
|
|
Boost C++ libraries must be installed, go to http://www.boost.org for download and instructions.
|
|
|
|
Will update to use C++17 networking instead in the future when it is supported by g++.
|
|
|
|
### Compile and run
|
|
|
|
Compile with a C++11 compiler supporting regex (for instance g++ 4.9):
|
|
|
|
g++ -O3 -std=c++11 -lboost_system main.cpp httpserver.cpp -o httpserver
|
|
|
|
Then to run the server: ./httpserver
