HTTP Server

Simple HTTP Server implementation in C++.
Supports flask-like API for creating endpoints.

How To Build:

Dependencies: git, gcc/clang, make, binutils(ar)

• Clone repo
• cd http-server
• git submodule update --init --recursive
• make PREFIX=/path/to/install/dir, set PREFIX to desired install location. If no prefix is specified, build folder will be created

After install libhttpserver.a and libmrt.a will be present inside PREFIX/lib along with all required headers (in PREFIX/include)

To embed http-server into your project, you can just include it as a git submodule, and run make -C http-server inside your projects Makefile

Example:

mrt::Server server;

server.addEndpoint({"/api", http::Method::GET, [](auto request) {
  return http::Response(http::OK).setContent("text/plain", "Hello, World!");
}});

server.addEndpoint({"/api", http::Method::POST, [](auto request) {
  std::string body;
  for (auto& p : request.header.params) {
    body += p.first + " = " + p.second + "\n";
  }
  return http::Response(http::OK).setContent("text/plain", body);
}});

server.run();
