Simple-Web-Server
=================
A very simple, fast, multithreaded and platform independent HTTP server implemented using C++11 and Boost.Asio. Makes it easy to create REST resources for a C++ application.
### Features
* Thread pool
* Platform independent
* HTTP persistent connection (for HTTP/1.1)
* Simple way to add REST resources using regex for method and path, and anonymous functions
###Usage
See main.cpp for example usage.
### Dependency
Boost C++ libraries must be installed, go to http://www.boost.org for download and instructions.
### 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
