kanon_httpd

Introduction

kanon_httpd is a simple http server. The server can only run on linux/unix-like platform only since does so kanon. It can accept and process http request including GET, POST. Also, it support long connection and short connection(i.e. keep-alive header). Compared to the old approach CGI to back dynamic pages, I apply the modern approach Shared object as plugin to provide them. The content provider need implemetes the interface class to the */kanon_httpd/resource/contents only, then build tool will generate plugin automatically.

Options

The server supports some options, you can type --help to look it: (The command options is powered by takina)

$ ./httpd --help

Build

I wrote two version of it, but the version 1 has not been maintained. Therefore the version2 is the default build target.

This project depends on kanon. You must install it first. Besides, The project is built by cmake，so you also need to install cmake.

I prepare a shell script in the project directory, it should meet the basic requirements of build, also you can modify it.

Run Test

Open a web browser, and input the URL: http://Hostname/ will access the home page. I prepare one dynamic page: adder that is very simple page. You can access this page by following approach:

  • GET method: http://Hostname/contents/adder?a=*&b=*
  • POST method: http://Hostname/html/post_test.html/ and fill the form and submit, then httpd will back dynamic page like GET approach.
