https://github.com/eidheim/simple-web-serverA lightweight, multithreaded C++11 library for building HTTP and HTTPS servers and clients. Designed for exposing RESTful resources from C++ applications with minimal boilerplate, it supports asynchronous request handling, thread pools, HTTP/1.1 persistent connections, and chunked transfer encoding. Requires Asio and OpenSSL for HTTPS support.
To build the project, use a C++11 compliant compiler and CMake. Follow these steps to create a build directory and compile the source:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
cd ..After compiling, you can run the HTTP server and client examples using the generated binary. Once running, you can access the server via a browser at http://localhost:8080/ (or the configured port).
./build/http_examplesTo run HTTPS examples, you must first provide an RSA private key (server.key) and an SSL certificate (server.crt). You can use self-signed certificates for testing. Once the certificates are in place, run the HTTPS examples binary and access the server via https://localhost:8080/.
./build/https_examplesSimple-Web-Server requires the following dependencies:
