Code samplesA first example#include Compile this program, and run it. Point a web browser a http://localhost:8181/. The result should be the directory listing of the directory /home/bfleisch/public_html.
the http_server_t structure contains all the information regarding the web server. It must be
created with the function http_server_new. This functions takes two arguments : a node name
and a port value. node_name is the IP address ( or host name ) on which the socket will be bound.
If node_name is NULL, the listenning socket will be bound to all the local interfaces
( INADDR_ANY or IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT). Once the structure has been created, you could specify the home directory for your server with document_root, and start the server with server->run(server). Once the server has been started, an infinite loop handles the incoming requests and dispatch them according to the server configuration. Directory indexesWhen a directory URL is requested, if one of the file of the directory indexes list is found in the directory, a redirect page is send to the browser. This directory indexes list should typically contains index.html and/or index.html. This list must be created with list_new function.
list_t* indexes; ... indexes = list_new(); indexes->add(indexes, "index.html"); indexes->add(indexes, "index.htm"); server->directory_index = indexes; ... server->run(server); Callback functions
A callback function is called whenever the associated URI is found in the request. ... server->add_url(server, uri, callback_function); ...
The uri parameter is a POSIX regex expression. If a request match this expression,
callback_function will be called. The callback_function must follow this prototype : |
