kleinsHTTP: A stupid stupidly simple http server.

About

I wanted to create an api server using C++ as it is my favorite language however i was unable to find a http libary that fits my requirements.

Those requirements being:

• Simple to understand
• Simple to get working
• Easy to implement

So i wrote this libary. I don't know if this makes sense to other people, but it works for me.

Building

You can build either in debug or release mode using

make

or

make release

respectivly.

This will create all necessary files under target/debug|release/.

Linking it staticly

Include kleinsHTTP.h in your project. Add kleinsHTTP.a to your source files.

Linking it dynamicly

Include kleinsHTTP.h in your project. Move libkleinsHTTP.so to /usr/lib/

Example:

Check out example.cpp on how to use this libary.

(I'm still working on better documentaion. Sorry!)
