Simple CPPHTTP

Simple HTTP server implementation using linux epoll, sockets, STL library.

Quick start

HTTP Server:

Create logger and HTTP Handler

    #include "Logger/SimpleLogger.h"
    #include "implementations/http_handler/HTTPHandler.h"
    
    ...
    logs::SimpleLogger logger;
    // Create HTTP handler
    cpphttp::HTTPHandler httpHandler(16 // read size of raw response
                                     , logger); // logger
    ...

Add endpoint to handler

    // endpoint '/' - return { "hello" : "world" }
    httpHandler.addResource("/", cpphttp::GET, [&](std::shared_ptr<cpphttp::Request> &req, std::shared_ptr<cpphttp::Response> &resp) {
        resp->headers.emplace("Content-Type", "application/json");
        Document d(rapidjson::kObjectType);
        Value v(rapidjson::kStringType);
        v.SetString("world", std::strlen("world"), d.GetAllocator());
        d.AddMember("hello", v, d.GetAllocator());
        buffer.Clear();
        Writer<StringBuffer> writer(buffer);
        d.Accept(writer);
        resp->body = std::string(buffer.GetString());
    });

Create TCPServer

    ...
    // Create server instance
    cpphttp::TCPServer server(8080, 16386, 16386, 1, httpHandler, logger);
    ...

Run TCPServer method listenAndServe()

    ...
    // Start server
    server.listenAndServe();
    ...

HTTP Client

Create TCPClient

    #include "HTTPLib/TCPClient.h"
    
    ...
    TCPClient client;

Send HTTP request and get cpphttp::Response

    ...
    auto res = client.send(HTTP_METHOD::GET, "wirelesstag.net", 80, "");
    // Output response
    std::cout << res->toString() << std::endl;
    ...
