Medge is an HTTP Server.

For more information such as purposes, features and limitations, please visit our Wiki.

Installation

This project depends on the core library Melon and Melang dynamic libraries. So please install these projects at first. For more details about them, please visit their repositories on Github.

After that, please follow the commands given below:

$ git clone https://github.com/Water-Melon/Medge.git
$ cd Medge
$ ./configure [--prefix=INSTALL_PATH] [--libpath=INSTALLED_MELON_PATH]
$ make
$ make install

Usage

$ medge -h
./medge OPTIONS
	-a Listen address, 0.0.0.0 as default
	-p Listen port, 80 as default
	-w Worker process number, 1 as default
	-d Base directory path of entry script, /opt/medge/ as default
	-e Entry expression file, 'index' as default
	-D Enable changing root directory. This parameter only work on user 'root'.
	-v Show version
	-h Show help information

-d is used to set the base directory path of the entry script.

For example:

|- /opt/medge/
    |- index

This is the base directory tree. The base directory is /opt/medge in this example. And there is an entry expression file named index.

-D is used to enable chroot system call. But if it is enabled, user has to solve directory problems manually.

Example

Let's see a complete example.

The service base path is /opt/medge.

|- /opt/medge/
    |- index
    |- index.html

In Medge, HTTP host is used as the service directory name.

//index
setResponseBody(readFile('/opt/medge/index.html'))

//index.html

Now, let's start Medge:

$ medge -p 8080 -d /opt/medge/ -w 1

Then we send a HTTP request to Medge.

$ curl -v http://127.1:8080/
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:8080...
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0)

* Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse
