Thank you for the nice library. It is helpful.

How can we serve an index.html from the program?

I tried this but did not work.

    MJPEGStreamer streamer;
    streamer.start(8080);
    streamer.publish("/", "<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body><html>");

This library is for serving images as MJPEG streams, if you want to serve HTML files you probably need something else like httplib.

Hi @metanav thank you for your compliment and question.

As @rotolof said, this library only responsible to stream images from your C++ application to the web using MJPEG over HTTP mechanism.

To serve the html file, there are many ways to do it depends on your use case. You can search on the internet with keywords "how to run html files on the web".

Maybe you can share your use case here so we can suggest you with possible solutions (although might not go into too much detail since it is not the scope of this library).

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the usage of this library.
