HTTP Echo server doesn't respond!

[azmathmoosa]

I am trying to write a simple http server with libsourcey but I have failed so far.

This code compiles and runs but the server at 1337 doesn't respond!

unsigned int port = 1337;
net::Address localhost("0.0.0.0", port);        
http::Server srv(localhost);       
srv.Connection += [](http::ServerConnection::Ptr conn) {
        conn->Payload += [](http::ServerConnection& conn, const MutableBuffer& buffer) {
            conn.send(bufferCast<const char*>(buffer), buffer.size());
            conn.close();
        };
    };
srv.start();
htlog << LINFO << "HTTP Serving on port: " << port;
htlog << LINFO << "Server root: " << basepath;
htlog << LINFO << "======SERVER READY======";
cout << "Ctrl+C to kill" << endl;
waitForShutdown();

This is the wrk output

wrk -d2s --timeout 2s http://localhost:1337 Running 2s test @ http://localhost:1337 2 threads and 10 connections Thread Stats Avg Stdev Max +/- Stdev Latency 0.00us 0.00us 0.00us -nan% Req/Sec 0.00 0.00 0.00 -nan% 0 requests in 2.00s, 0.00B read Requests/sec: 0.00 Transfer/sec: 0.00B

localhost:1337 is available, but is sending nothing in return. Please help. I would also like to know how I can implement routing and stuff.

this worked

conn->response().add("Content-Length", "0");
        conn->response().add("Connection", "close"); // "keep-alive"
        conn->sendHeader();

but there is still no documentation for File uploads, POST parsing etc. Can you guide me pls?

Sorry about the lack of examples for the HTTP implementation! The best source is the tests file: https://github.com/sourcey/libsourcey/blob/master/src/http/tests/httptests.cpp

The HTTP module is used extensively throughout libsourcey so you can also do a code search for http:: in order to get find code samples.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, I managed to get upto this

           srv.Connection += [&](http::ServerConnection::Ptr conn) {
            //string endpoint = resolve_api_endpoint(conn);
            NVCollection flagParams;            
            conn->request().getURIParameters(flagParams);            
            for(auto it=flagParams.begin(); it!=flagParams.end(); it++){
                cout << it->first << ":" << it->second << endl;
            }

            conn->Payload += [](http::ServerConnection& conn, const MutableBuffer& buffer) {
               /// need help here
                std::cout << "On payload: " << buffer.size() << endl;
            };
            conn->response().add("Content-Length", "0");
            conn->response().add("Connection", "close"); // "keep-alive"
            conn->sendHeader();
        };

I get this

0:inferImage returnFaceAttributes:true On payload: 65252 On payload: 65536 On payload: 65536 On payload: 34268

I wanted to know if there is an inbuilt multipart-file data parser for ServerConnection. I want my server to handle image uploads. Basically, some class that will automatically combine all the parts and return the buffer which i will then pass on to my image decoder. @auscaster Do I need to do this on my own? or is there a class for this.
Thanks.

Please use the FormWriter class for this: https://github.com/sourcey/libsourcey/blob/master/src/http/src/form.cpp#L38
