HTTP server

Http server is a library that can be used to write http server ( write handlers, parsing configs and other stuff ) Main focus was on performance and test writing Depends on hardware you can have tens or hundreds of thousands RPS(requests per second) per thread (handler) Writing tests also easy. You can use gtest/gmock and implement your own factory that will create streams This streams can simulate different problems on network and you can check how your software handle it

Build

You need cmake

1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake ../
   1. cmake build options
      1. build examples -DWITH_EXAMPLES=ON
      2. with sanitazer support -DWITH_SANITIZER=ON
4. make

Design

Http library is asynchronous multi-threaded library. It uses one listen thread who's waiting for incomming connections and pull of handler threads who's parse/handle incomming requests.

Examples

minimal application

   // create pointer on specific configuration listen  
   std::unique_ptr<bro::net::listen::settings> connection_settings(new tcp::listen::settings());
   connection_settings->_listen_address = {proto::ip::v4::address("127.0.0.1"), 23456};

   // create server
   http::server::http_server server(std::move(connection_settings));

   // add specific handle
   server.add_handler(http::client::request::type::e_GET, "/", {._cb = [](http::server::request &&req, http::server::response &resp, std::any user_data) {
      resp.set_status_code(http::status::code::e_OK);
      resp.add_body(std::string("Hi All"), "txt");
   }});

   // start server
   if(!server.start()) {
      std::cerr << "couldn't start http server" << std::endl;
   } else {
      std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(50));
      server.stop();    
   }

Server with config

Minimal server with yaml config support. Just to show how it can be. Can be build with -DWITH_EXAMPLES=ON
