This library implements a core HTTP server for Boost that can be used from resource-constrained devices to powerful machines that have plenty of resources to make use of and can speed up the server (such as extra ram available to pools and extra cpus available to multithreaded servers).

A future aim of the library is to support several http transport mechanisms, but continue to expose http power (100-continue, chunked entities, upgrade, ...). Thanks to the first requirement, runtime polymorphism is avoided, but support for runtime-based polymorphism is also present.

This library is licensed under the terms of the Boost Software License, version 1.0. You can find a copy of the license with this library.

• CMake for build
• Boost libraries

You can generate documentation using the Boost.Build-based rules within the doc directory. Like so:

cd doc
b2

If you can't (or just don't want) generate the documentation, just look at the generated documentation found on the gh-pages branch or the http://boostgsoc14.github.io/boost.http/ site.
