ABOUT
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a set of C++ header files which can be used to write and
deploy C++ daemons with embedded support of the HTTP protocol.
It is a set of simple, lean and idiomatic wrappers for standard linux
and http functionality, rather than a "framework" in the classical
sense of the term.
Advantages of this library:
* Tested over years of real-world load (thousands of requests per
second) in a real production environment.
* Designed for 64-bit Linux and modern C++.
* Designed as a set of small, simple functions for doing common tasks
well. This is closer to the "Unix philosophy" of solving problems
rather than architecture astronautics of "frameworks".
Disadvantages:
* Tested only on modern 64-bit Linux machines. Using the library
under any other setup will likely result in failure.
USAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Build requirements:
For building the library, you will need:
* g++
* The boost libraries and headers. Usage requirements:
* A modern Linux running on a modern 64-bit CPU is required.
Compiling:
This is a collection of header files which do not need to be compiled.
*WARNING*: When linking your final app, you will need to link with the
'boost_thread' and 'boost_system' libraries!
Using the library: Please see the examples in 'examples/'. Proper API documentation is still a work in progress.
