Simple HTTP Server Hello World example returns code 501

[mcordova1967]

Hello, I am using the library on Win x64 with MingW, I installed restbed and asio using MSYS2 packages and the example compiles and runs, but then I try to navigate to http:://localhost:8080/resource using Chrome a 501 is returned.

compile/link command: g++ -O3 -std=c++20 restbed.cpp -o restbed.exe -lrestbed

Any help is much appreciated. Regards, Martin

The code:

include

include

using namespace std; using namespace restbed;

void post_method_handler( const shared_ptr< Session > session ) { const auto request = session->get_request( );

int content_length = request->get_header( "Content-Length", 0 );

session->fetch( content_length, [ ]( const shared_ptr< Session > session, const Bytes & body )
{
    fprintf( stdout, "%.*s\n", ( int ) body.size( ), body.data( ) );
    session->close( OK, "Hello, World!", { { "Content-Length", "13" } } );
} );

}

int main( const int, const char** ) { auto resource = make_shared< Resource >( ); resource->set_path( "/resource" ); resource->set_method_handler( "POST", post_method_handler );

auto settings = make_shared< Settings >( );
settings->set_port( 8080 );
settings->set_default_header( "Connection", "close" );

Service service;
service.publish( resource );
service.start( settings );

return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}

You've set an HTTP POST method handler, Chrome will issue an HTTP GET request. This won't be found and is not implemented anywhere else on the service hence the 501.
