#About#

This is a set of C++ header files which can be used to write and deploy C++ daemons with embedded support of the HTTP protocol.

It is a set of simple, lean and idiomatic wrappers for standard linux and http functionality, rather than a "framework" in the classical sense of the term.

Advantages of this library:

• Tested over years of real-world load (thousands of requests per second) in a real production environment.

• Designed for 64-bit Linux and modern C++.

• Designed as a set of small, simple functions for doing common tasks well. This is closer to the "Unix philosophy" of solving problems rather than architecture astronautics of "frameworks".

Disadvantages:

• Tested only on modern 64-bit Linux machines. Using the library under any other setup will likely result in failure.

#Usage#

###Build requirements:###

For building the library, you will need:

• g++

• The boost libraries and headers.

###Usage requirements:###

• A modern Linux running on a modern 64-bit CPU is required.

###Compiling:###

This is a collection of header files which do not need to be compiled.

WARNING: When linking your final app, you will need to link with the boost_thread and boost_system libraries!

###Using the library: ###

Please see the examples in examples/.

Proper API documentation is still a work in progress.
