Mini HTTP Server

Quick Start

Here's an example for developing a server-side application.

First, specify the port in src/main.cpp.

const int PORT = 50000;

Second, add the signature of the function in src/Service.hpp. Note that all functions you implement should accept an object of type const Request&, and return an object of type Response·

#include "Util.hpp"
#include "Mapping.hpp"

void deploy(Mapping& mapping);

// Below are custom functions.
Response welcome(const Request& request);

Third, implement your function and specify its route in src/Service.cpp.

#include "Service.hpp"

// Please deploy your services here.
void deploy(Mapping& mapping)
{
    mapping.add_service("/", Method::GET, welcome);
}

// Please implement your services here.
Response welcome(const Request& request)
{
    std::string body = Util::http_wrapping("Welcome!");
    return Response(body, ContentType::TEXT_HTML);
}

Features

• Energy-efficient because busy waiting is waited by using facilities like std::condition_variable.
• Number of service threads could be specified.
• URL parameters would be parsed and processed so that developers could get them from Request object easily.
• Utilities functions are provided, e.g. function for reading files.

TODOs

• Implement URL decoder.
• Rearrange folder structure.
• Add more utilities including decoder/encoder and more.
• Enrich documentation.
• Improve routing mechanism.
