kcgi is an open source CGI and FastCGI library for C/C++ web applications. It's minimal, secure, auditable, and fits within your BCHS software stack.
To keep up to date with the current stable release of kcgi, visit https://kristaps.bsd.lv/kcgi. The website also contains canonical installation, deployment, examples, and usage documentation.
To use the bleeding-edge version of kcgi (instead of from your system's packages or a stable version), the process it the similar as for source releases.
Begin by cloning or downloading. Then configure with ./configure,
compile with make (BSD make, so it may be bmake on your system),
then make install (or use sudo or doas, if applicable). To
install in an alternative directory to /usr/local, set the PREFIX
variable when you run configure.
./configure PREFIX=~/.local
make
make installIf you plan on using pkg-config with the above invocation, make sure
that ~/.local/lib/pkgconfig is recognised as a path to package
specifications. You'll also want to make sure that man can access the
installed location of ~/.local/man, in this case.
It's useful to run the installed regression tests on the bleeding edge
sources. (Again, this uses BSD make, so it may be bmake on your
system.)
make regressThe system contains a full regression suite and is also built to work
with AFL. To run some of the bundled
tests, use the binaries compiled into the afl directory. (Again, this
uses BSD make, so it may be bmake on your system.)
make afl
cd afl
afl-fuzz -i in/urlencoded -o out -- ./afl-urlencodedAll sources use the ISC (like OpenBSD) license. See the LICENSE.md file for details.
