RESTFUL API Server in C++


https://github.com/eidheim/Simple-Web-Server


Simple-Web-Server

A very simple, fast, multithreaded, platform independent HTTP and HTTPS server and client library implemented using C++11 and Boost.Asio. Created to be an easy way to make REST resources available from C++ applications.

See https://github.com/eidheim/Simple-WebSocket-Server for an easy way to make WebSocket/WebSocket Secure endpoints in C++. Also, feel free to check out the new C++ IDE supporting C++11/14/17: https://github.com/cppit/jucipp.

Features

  • Thread pool
  • Platform independent
  • HTTPS support
  • HTTP persistent connection (for HTTP/1.1)
  • Client supports chunked transfer encoding
  • Timeouts, if any of Server::timeout_request and Server::timeout_content are >0 (default: Server::timeout_request=5 seconds, and Server::timeout_content=300 seconds)
  • Simple way to add REST resources using regex for path, and anonymous functions
  • Possibility to flush response to clients synchronously (Server::Response::flush).

Usage

See http_examples.cpp or https_examples.cpp for example usage.

See particularly the JSON-POST (using Boost.PropertyTree) and the GET /match/[number] examples, which are most relevant.

The default_resource includes example use of Server::Response::flush.

Dependencies

  • Boost C++ libraries
  • For HTTPS: OpenSSL libraries

Compile and run

Compile with a C++11 compliant compiler:

cmake .
make

HTTP

Run the server and client examples: ./http_examples

Direct your favorite browser to for instance http://localhost:8080/

HTTPS

Before running the server, an RSA private key (server.key) and an SSL certificate (server.crt) must be created. Follow, for instance, the instructions given here (for a self-signed certificate): http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html

Run the server and client examples: ./https_examples

Direct your favorite browser to for instance https://localhost:8080/
