Addy

Run

Assumes machine running UNIX system, macOS, or linux distribution. Will create a server listening on http://localhost:3000 by default. Will create a client that sends a request to a server and prints out the response.

git clone https://github.com/thsmale/addy
cd addy/examples

chmod u+x client server
./client
./server

Usage

Create an HTTP server and return a file descriptor to listen on.

#include <addy.h>
int fd = start_server("localhost", "3000")

Make a HTTP request. Note this request returns the google homepage. A better usage is making a request to an API that returns csv data.

#include <addy.h>

// Configure a HTTP object
struct Http options;
options.method = "GET";
options.route = "/index.html";
options.host = "www.google.com";
options.port = "80";

struct Http response;
int response = request(http, &response);
printf("Response payload: %s\n", response.payload);

Logging

Test

These test that the addy server or client is HTTP compatible. One can configure the unit tests by setting the port and hostname like this.

$ export ADDY_HOST=localhost
$ export PORT=3000
