Asynchronous Wed Server

This is an Extensible Web Server Using Boost Asio Library, supporting HTTP1.1, HTTP Compression and Multi-Threading.

Usage:

Get the source code:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/HenryChen-CH/Boost-Web-Server.git

Change into the directory:

cd ./Boost-Web-Server

Compile:

make

Tips: When you just change one source file or very few files, you just need to remove the corresponding .o file, and compile again, it will greatly speed up compiling process.
Run:

./webserver <config>

Run tests:

make test

Docker

Build Docker Image
make docker-build
we use static linking to build the binary, so that we can shrink the size of docker image to about 10MB!
Deploy to ec2(make sure using the correct key and server address in Makefile)
make docker-deploy

How To Add Handler

You can conveniently add Handler extending function of the server.

Create your own class. Be sure using .cc .h as file extension
Your Handler class should inherit RequestHandler class
Implement all virtual functions of RequestHandler class
call REGISTER_REQUEST_HANDLER(YourClassName) in header file
Configure your handler in config file
All Done, you can compile and run now

Config File Format

listen <port number>;   
path /path HandlerName {   
  HandlerOptions;   
}
