This is a basic, non-blocking HTTP server in Julia.
You can write a basic application using just this if you're happy dealing with values representing HTTP requests and responses directly. For a higher-level view, you could use Meddle or Morsel. If you'd like to use WebSockets as well, you'll need to grab WebSockets.jl.
Installation: Pkg.add("HttpServer")
To make sure everything is working, you can run
cd ~/.julia/v0.3/HttpServer
julia examples/hello.jl
If you open up localhost:8000/hello/name/ in your browser, you should get a greeting from the server.
using HttpServer
http = HttpHandler() do req::Request, res::Response
Response( ismatch(r"^/hello/",req.resource) ? string("Hello ", split(req.resource,'/')[3], "!") : 404 )
end
http.events["error"] = ( client, err ) -> println( err )
http.events["listen"] = ( port ) -> println("Listening on $port...")
server = Server( http )
run( server, 8000 ):::::::::::::
