使用cinatra常见问题汇总(FAQ)

cinatra简介

cinatra是一个高性能易用的http框架,它是用modern c++(c++20)开发的,它的目标是提供一个快速开发的c++ http框架。它的主要特点如下:

  1. 统一而简单的接口
  2. header-only
  3. 跨平台
  4. 高效
  5. 支持面向切面编程

cinatra目前支持了http1.1/1.0, ssl和websocket, 你可以用它轻易地开发一个http服务器,比如常见的数据库访问服务器、文件上传下载服务器、实时消息推送服务器,你也可以基于cinatra开发一个mqtt服务器。 cinatra是世界上性能最好的http服务器之一,性能测试详见性能测试

除此之外,cinatra 还提供了一个基于C++20 协程的http(https) client,包括普通get/post请求、文件上传下载和web socket、redirect、proxy等功能。

谁在用cinatra

cinatra目前被很多公司在使用,在这里可以看到谁在用cinatra.

如何使用

编译器版本

  1. C++20 编译器 (gcc 10.2, clang 13, Visual Studio 2022,或者更高的版本)

使用

cinatra是header-only的,直接引用头文件既可。

快速示例

示例1:一个简单的hello world

#include "cinatra.hpp"
using namespace cinatra;

int main() {
	int max_thread_num = std::thread::hardware_concurrency();
	http_server server(max_thread_num);
	server.listen("0.0.0.0", "8080");
	server.set_http_handler<GET, POST>("/", [](request& req, response& res) {
		res.set_status_and_content(status_type::ok, "hello world");
	});

	server.run();
	return 0;
}

5行代码就可以实现一个简单http服务器了,用户不需要关注多少细节,直接写业务逻辑就行了。

示例2:展示如何取header和query以及错误返回

#include "cinatra.hpp"
using namespace cinatra;

int main() {
	http_server server(std::thread::hardware_concurrency());
	server.listen("0.0.0.0", "8080");
	server.set_http_handler<GET, POST>("/test", [](request& req, response& res) {
		auto name = req.get_header_value("name");
		if (name.empty()) {
			res.set_status_and_content(status_type::bad_request, "no name");
			return;
		}

		auto id = req.get_query_value("id");
		if (id.empty()) {
			res.set_status_and_content(status_type::bad_request);
			return;
		}

		res.set_status_and_content(status_type::ok, "hello world");
	});

	server.run();
	return 0;
}

示例3:面向切面的http服务器

#include "cinatra.hpp"
using namespace cinatra;

//日志切面
struct log_t
{
	bool before(request& req, response& res) {
		std::cout << "before log" << std::endl;
		return true;
	}

	bool after(request& req, response& res) {
		std::cout << "after log" << std::endl;
		return true;
	}
};

//校验的切面
struct check {
	bool before(request& req, response& res) {
		std::cout << "before check" << std::endl;
		if (req.get_header_value("name").empty()) {
			res.set_status_and_content(status_type::bad_request);
			return false;
		}
		return true;
	}

	bool after(request& req, response& res) {
		std::cout << "after check" << std::endl;
		return true;
	}
};

//将信息从中间件传输到处理程序
struct get_data {
	bool before(request& req, response& res) {
		req.set_aspect_data("hello", std::string("hello world"));
		return true;
	}
}

int main() {
	http_server server(std::thread::hardware_concurrency());
	server.listen("0.0.0.0", "8080");
	server.set_http_handler<GET, POST>("/aspect", [](request& req, response& res) {
		res.set_status_and_content(status_type::ok, "hello world");
	}, check{}, log_t{});

	server.set_http_handler<GET,POST>("/aspect/data", [](request& req, response& res) {
		std::string hello = req.get_aspect_data<std::string>("hello");
		res.set_status_and_content(status_type::ok, std::move(hello));
	}, get_data{});

	server.run();
	return 0;
}

本例中有两个切面,一个校验http请求的切面,一个是日志切面,这个切面用户可以根据需求任意增加。本例会先检查http请求的合法性,如果不合法就会返回bad request,合法就会进入下一个切面,即日志切面,日志切面会打印出一个before表示进入业务逻辑之前的处理,业务逻辑完成之后会打印after表示业务逻辑结束之后的处理。

示例4:文件上传

cinatra目前支持了multipart和octet-stream格式的上传。

multipart文件上传

#include <atomic>
#include "cinatra.hpp"
using namespace cinatra;

int main() {
	http_server server(std::thread::hardware_concurrency());
	server.listen("0.0.0.0", "8080");

	//http upload(multipart)
	server.set_http_handler<GET, POST>("/upload_multipart", [](request& req, response& res) {
		assert(req.get_content_type() == content_type::multipart);
		
		auto& files = req.get_upload_files();
		for (auto& file : files) {
			std::cout << file.get_file_path() << " " << file.get_file_size() << std::endl;
		}

		res.set_status_and_content(status_type::ok, "multipart finished");
	});

	server.run();
	return 0;
}

短短几行代码就可以实现一个http文件上传的服务器了,包含了异常处理和错误处理。

octet-stream文件上传

#include <atomic>
#include "cinatra.hpp"
using namespace cinatra;

int main() {
	http_server server(std::thread::hardware_concurrency());
	server.listen("0.0.0.0", "8080");

	//http upload(octet-stream)
	server.set_http_handler<GET, POST>("/upload_octet_stream", [](request& req, response& res) {
		assert(req.get_content_type() == content_type::octet_stream);
		auto& files = req.get_upload_files();
		for (auto& file : files) {
			std::cout << file.get_file_path() << " " << file.get_file_size() << std::endl;
		}

		res.set_status_and_content(status_type::ok, "octet-stream finished");
	});

	server.run();
	return 0;
}

示例5:文件下载

cinatra提供下载功能非常简单,不需要编写代码,具体方法:
1. 启动cinatra server
2. 将要下载的文件放到http server同一级的www目录下即可。
3. 如何下载:如果你把test.txt放到www之后,那么直接通过http://127.0.0.1:8090/test.txt下载即可。
//chunked download
//cinatra will send you the file, if the file is big file(more than 5M) the file will be downloaded by chunked. support continues download

示例6:websocket

#include "cinatra.hpp"
using namespace cinatra;

int main() {
	http_server server(std::thread::hardware_concurrency());
	server.listen("0.0.0.0", "8080");

	//web socket
	server.set_http_handler<GET, POST>("/ws", [](request& req, response& res) {
		assert(req.get_content_type() == content_type::websocket);

		req.on(ws_open, [](request& req){
			std::cout << "websocket start" << std::endl;
		});

		req.on(ws_message, [](request& req) {
			auto part_data = req.get_part_data();
			//echo
			std::string str = std::string(part_data.data(), part_data.length());
			req.get_conn<cinatra::NonSSL>()->send_ws_string(std::move(str));
			std::cout << part_data.data() << std::endl;
		});

		req.on(ws_error, [](request& req) {
			std::cout << "websocket pack error or network error" << std::endl;
		});
	});

	server.run();
	return 0;
}

示例7:io_service_inplace

本代码演示如何使用io_service_inplace,然后自己控制http server的运行线程以及循环。 使用 [http://[::1]:8080/close] (IPv6) 或者 [http://127.0.0.1:8080/close] (IPv4) 来关闭http server。

#include "cinatra.hpp"
using namespace cinatra;

int main() {

	bool is_running = true;
	http_server_<io_service_inplace> server;
	server.listen("8080");

	server.set_http_handler<GET, POST>("/", [](request& req, response& res) {
		res.set_status_and_content(status_type::ok, "hello world");
	});

	server.set_http_handler<GET, POST>("/close", [&](request& req, response& res) {
		res.set_status_and_content(status_type::ok, "will close");

		is_running = false;
		server.stop();
	});

	while(is_running)
		server.poll_one();

	return 0;
}

cinatra客户端使用

sync_send get/post message

void test_sync_client() {
  {
    std::string uri = "http://www.baidu.com";
    coro_http_client client{};
    auto result = client.get(uri);
    assert(!result.net_err);
    print(result.resp_body);

    result = client.post(uri, "hello", req_content_type::json);
    print(result.resp_body);
  }

  {
    coro_http_client client{};
    std::string uri = "http://cn.bing.com";
    auto result = client.get(uri);
    assert(!result.net_err);
    print(result.resp_body);

    result = client.post(uri, "hello", req_content_type::json);
    print(result.resp_body);
  }
}

#ifdef CINATRA_ENABLE_SSL
void test_coro_http_client() {
  using namespace cinatra;
  coro_http_client client{};
  client.init_ssl("../../include/cinatra", "server.crt");
  auto data = client.get("https://www.bing.com");
  std::cout << data.resp_body << "\n";
  data = client.get("https://www.bing.com");
  std::cout << data.resp_body << "\n";
}
#endif

async get/post message

async_simple::coro::Lazy<void> test_async_client() {
  std::string uri = "http://www.baidu.com";

  {
    coro_http_client client{};
    auto data = co_await client.async_get(uri);
    print(data.status);

    data = co_await client.async_get(uri);
    print(data.status);

    data = co_await client.async_post(uri, "hello", req_content_type::string);
    print(data.status);
  }

#ifdef CINATRA_ENABLE_SSL
  std::string uri2 = "https://www.baidu.com";
  std::string uri3 = "https://cn.bing.com";
  coro_http_client client{};
  client.init_ssl("../../include/cinatra", "server.crt");
  data = co_await client.async_get(uri2);
  print(data.status);

  data = co_await client.async_get(uri3);
  print(data.status);
#endif
}

upload(multipart) file

async_simple::coro::Lazy<void> test_upload() {
  std::string uri = "http://example.com/";
  coro_http_client client{};
  auto result = co_await client.async_upload(uri, "test", "yourfile.jpg");
  print(result.status);
  std::cout << "upload finished\n";

  client.add_str_part("hello", "coro_http_client");
  client.add_file_part("test", "yourfile.jpg");
  result = co_await client.async_upload(uri);
  print(result.status);
  std::cout << "upload finished\n";
}

download file(ranges and chunked)

async_simple::coro::Lazy<void> test_download() {
  coro_http_client client{};
  std::string uri =
      "http://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/chunked/chunkedimage.aspx";
  std::string filename = "test.jpg";

  std::error_code ec{};
  std::filesystem::remove(filename, ec);
  auto r = co_await client.async_download(uri, filename);
  assert(!r.net_err);
  assert(r.status == 200);
  std::cout << "download finished\n";
}

web socket

async_simple::coro::Lazy<void> test_websocket() {
  coro_http_client client{};
  client.on_ws_close([](std::string_view reason) {
    std::cout << "web socket close " << reason << std::endl;
  });
  client.on_ws_msg([](resp_data data) {
    if (data.net_err) {
      std::cout << data.net_err.message() << "\n";
      return;
    }
    std::cout << data.resp_body << std::endl;
  });

  bool r = co_await client.async_ws_connect("ws://localhost:8090/ws");
  if (!r) {
    co_return;
  }

  auto result =
      co_await client.async_send_ws("hello websocket");  // mask as default.
  std::cout << result.status << "\n";
  result = co_await client.async_send_ws("test again", /*need_mask = */ false);
  std::cout << result.status << "\n";
  result = co_await client.async_send_ws_close("ws close");
  std::cout << result.status << "\n";
}

基于cinatra客户端的http/https压测工具使用

cinatra提供了一个高性能的http1.1 压测工具, 它是基于coro_http_client 实现的,内部通过多线程和协程实现了高效的压测,能够在单核或多核cpu上发送大量请求以此来测试服务器性能。

基础使用

./cinatra_press_tool -t 4 -c 40 -d 30s http://127.0.0.1

上面的命令代表使用4个线程并且保持40个连接打开(协程)对网址http://127.0.0.1进行30s的基准测试。

输出如下:

Running 30s test @ http://127.0.0.1
  4 threads and 40 connections
  Thread Status   Avg   Max   Variation   Stdev
    Latency   4.12ms     8.15ms     3.367ms     1.835ms
  462716 requests in 30.001s, 592.198250MB read, total: 462716, errors: 0
Requests/sec:     15423.86666667
Transfer/sec:     19.739390MB

命令行参数选项

 -c, --connections    total number of HTTP connections to keep open with 
 					  each thread handling N = connections/threads (int)
 -d, --duration       duration of the test, e.g. 2s, 2m, 2h (string [=15s])
 -t, --threads        total number of threads to use (int [=1])
 -H, --headers        HTTP headers to add to request, e.g. "User-Agent: coro_http_press"
            		  add multiple http headers in a request need to be separated by ' && '
            		  e.g. "User-Agent: coro_http_press && x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN" (string [=])
 -r, --readfix        read fixed response (int [=0])
 -?, --help           print this message

这里有两个参数与wrk不同

-H参数,它表示添加http头到http请求中,该参数不止可以添加一个http头还可以以&&符号(4个字符)为分隔符来组装多个http头到http请求。 比如-H User-Agent: coro_http_press就是添加一个http头,而-H User-Agent: coro_http_press && x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN则为添加User-Agent: coro_http_pressx-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN两个http头到http请求。添加三个以及多个http头的方法和上述方法相同。

-r参数,它表示是否读固定长度的response,这个参数可以避免频繁的解析response优化性能,有些服务器对于相同的请求返回的长度可能不同,这种情况下不设置这个参数或者将它设置为0。

性能测试

测试用例:

qps

qps-pipeline

注意事项

websocket的业务函数是会多次进入的,因此写业务逻辑的时候需要注意,推荐按照示例中的方式去做。
