WORK WITH HTTP

"Work with http" is a pet-project written on C++. It's simple http server written using unix sockets and stl features.

• JSON support using nlohmann/json
• Connection: close
• Middlewares
• Unsupported get requests from google chrome

Usage

• Creating instance

c_tcp_server server;
c_router router;

• Adding middlewares(override http response, if null, run router function)

router.middlewares.emplace_back( []( c_http_request* request ) -> c_http_response* {
    return new c_http_response(c_http_response::Created);
} );

• Inserting route

router.routes.insert( std::make_pair( std::make_pair( "/authorize/loader", "POST" ), [&]( const c_http_request* request ) -> c_http_response* {
    std::map<std::string, std::string> headers;
    headers.insert( std::make_pair( "Content-Type", "application/json" ) );

    return new c_http_response(c_http_response::OK, request->body, headers);
} ) );

• Parsing request

server.new_connection_event = [&](c_tcp_socket* client) {
    client->message_received_event = [client, &router](const std::string& request) {
        const auto http_req = new c_http_request(request);

        const auto response = router.listen(http_req);
        client->send(response);
    };
};

• Running server

server.bind(8080);

server.listen();

while (true) {

}

server.close();

Model mapping

Due to the fact that only JSON is currently supported, serialization is performed using nlohmann/json "Arbitrary Type Conversions"

Used libraries

• JSON support using nlohmann/json
