WHAT IS JRB NODE This is a C++11 library that provides a boost.asio based sync and async http client and server http and https (via openssl) are supported in both the client and the server The http_parser library from joyent is used to parse http (https://github.com/joyent/http-parser/) RATIONALE Currently there is no boost asio https server open source library. I wanted to see if I could make a simple library. I re-used http_parser so that I did not have to debug async parsing of http Then I built up templated classes to handle reading http requests into headers and body and reused those classes LICENSE Boost license for jrb_node MIT license of http_parser USING Needs boost and boost asio and boost threads. Tested with boost 1.49 Openssl needs to be linked unless JRB_NODE_NO_SSL is defined Include jrb_node.cpp http_parser.cpp in your project and include jrb_node.h An example program is provided in main.cpp all components are in namespace jrb_node An example jrb certificate and key (self signed for localhost) are used for the example program COMPILERS Compiles and runs with MSVC 2012 RC and mingw gcc 4.7.1 (nuwen.net distro)
