cpp-httplib
===========
A C++11 header-only HTTP library.
[The Boost Software License 1.0](http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)
It's extremely easy to setup. Just include **httplib.h** file in your code!
Server Example
--------------
Inspired by [Sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com/) and [express](https://github.com/visionmedia/express).
```c++
#include <httplib.h>
int main(void)
{
using namespace httplib;
Server svr;
svr.get("/hi", [](const Request& req, Response& res) {
res.set_content("Hello World!", "text/plain");
});
svr.get(R"(/numbers/(\d+))", [&](const Request& req, Response& res) {
auto numbers = req.matches[1];
res.set_content(numbers, "text/plain");
});
svr.listen("localhost", 1234);
}
```
### Method Chain
```cpp
svr.get("/get", [](const auto& req, auto& res) {
res.set_content("get", "text/plain");
})
.post("/post", [](const auto& req, auto& res) {
res.set_content(req.body(), "text/plain");
})
.listen("localhost", 1234);
```
### Static File Server
```cpp
svr.set_base_dir("./www");
```
### Logging
```cpp
svr.set_logger([](const auto& req, const auto& res) {
your_logger(req, res);
});
```
### Error Handler
```cpp
svr.set_error_handler([](const auto& req, auto& res) {
const char* fmt = "<p>Error Status: <span style='color:red;'>%d</span></p>";
char buf[BUFSIZ];
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, res.status);
res.set_content(buf, "text/html");
});
```
Client Example
--------------
```c++
#include <httplib.h>
#include <iostream>
int main(void)
{
httplib::Client cli("localhost", 1234);
auto res = cli.get("/hi");
if (res && res->status == 200) {
std::cout << res->body << std::endl;
}
}
```
### With Progress Callback
```cpp
httplib::Client client(url, port);
// prints: 0 / 000 bytes => 50% complete
std::shared_ptr<httplib::Response> res =
cli.get("/", [](int64_t len, int64_t total) {
printf("%lld / %lld bytes => %d%% complete\n",
len, total,
(int)((len/total)*100));
}
);
```

This feature was contributed by [underscorediscovery](https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/pull/23).
OpenSSL Support
---------------
SSL support is available with `CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT`. `libssl` and `libcrypto` should be linked.
```c++
#define CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT
SSLServer svr("./cert.pem", "./key.pem");
SSLClient cli("localhost", 8080);
```
