An __m__inimalist, __e__mbeddable, self-__h__osted and self-aware* HTTP server for C#
Writing a MEH server is incredibly easy:
using MEH;
namespace SuperTrouperApp {
class Stage : HttpServer {
// ...
}
}
New request handlers (ie. routes in "richer" libraries) are added through GET and POST methods:
public Stage(int port) : base(port) {
POST(@"/feeling/(\w)$", (m, p) => {
string number = p.inputStream.ReadToEnd();
p.Respond(String.Format("Feeling like a {0}, {1}", m[1].Value, number));
});
GET(@"/", (m, p) => p.Respond("BEAMS ARE GONNA BLIND ME"));
}
The m argument is a System.Text.RegularExpressions.GroupCollection, while p represents an internal class, HttpProcessor. The only thing about HttpProcessor that you need to know is its Respond method:
public Stage(int port) : base(port) {
GET(@"/find/trouper/w/lights", (m, p) => p.Respond("Shining like the sun?"));
GET(@"/find/trouper", (m, p) => p.Respond(HttpStatusCodes.NotFound));
GET(@"/find/tea", (m, p) => p.Respond(HttpStatusCodes.ImATeapot, "Are you a teapot?"));
GET(@"/find/waldo", (m, p) => {
Dictionary<string, string> headers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
headers.add("X-Quadrant", "Left");
headers.add("X-Clues", "None");
p.respond(HttpStatusCodes.SeeOther, headers, "Hmmm...");
});
}
You're now 200 to start using the "library".
Oh yes, MEH can serve static files as well. Take a look at the ServeFiles method, I don't feel like writing about it right now. meh.
MEH is based on the works of David Jeske, and as the original work, meh is published to public domain. Have fun!
