NetFlex is a modern C++11 HTTP Server.
NetFlex has no dependency. Its only requirement is C++11.
This library is still under development
Serving HTTP requests from a C++ software might seem unconventional, but some projects do require it (and I personally already encounter such need).
However, even though C++ is getting older with a more and more complete standard library and a huge active community, tools for this kind of tasks are very limited.
A few solutions exist down the road, hopefully, including cpp-netlib which is the main and maybe only usable C++ library providing HTTP server & client features.
However, cpp-netlib could be lot better. Its design is pretty old, the documentation is a real mess and the resulting library is not stable enough.
NetFlex aims to provide an alternative to cpp-netlib and other smaller C++ HTTP libraries with a modern C++ design.
One of its goal is to be as much flexible as possible in order for the users to integrate it easily in their existing program while providing the core features to fulfill HTTP support.
NetFlex will be compliant with the following HTTP RFC:
- RFC 7230: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing (June 2014)
- RFC 7230: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Semantics and Content (June 2014)
- RFC 7230: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Conditional Requests (June 2014)
- RFC 7230: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Range Requests (June 2014)
- RFC 7230: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Caching (June 2014)
- RFC 7230: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Authentication (June 2014)
That is, NetFlex aims to be HTTP/1.1 RFC compliant.
Support will be first provided for HTTP, then HTTPS in a second time and lastly HTTP/2.0.
