A very tiny and fast HTTP server library based on libubox and referenced from uhttpd for Embedded Linux.

Keep Watching for More Actions on This Space

Features

• Action - processes requests by invoking registered C functions which mapped to a specific path.
• Tiny and fast
• Use libubox as its event backend
• Support HTTPS - OpenSSL, mbedtls and CyaSSl(wolfssl)
• Flexible - you can easily extend your application to have HTTP/HTTPS services
• Code structure is concise and understandable, also suitable for learning

TO DO

• Lua API - Using Lua programming
• Lua Template - Embed Lua code into HTML code, like embedding PHP into HTML

Dependencies

• libubox
• ustream-ssl - If you need to support SSL
• mbedtls - If you choose mbedtls as your SSL backend
• CyaSSl(wolfssl) - If you choose wolfssl as your SSL backend
• openssl - If you choose openssl as your SSL backend

Configure

See which configuration are supported ~/libuhttpd/$ mkdir build && cd build ~/libuhttpd/build$ cmake .. -L ~/libuhttpd/build$ cmake .. -LH

Build and install

~/libuhttpd/build$ make && sudo make install

Run Example

Run

~/libuhttpd/build$ ./example/helloworld

Then use the command curl or browser to test

$ curl -k 'https://127.0.0.1:8000/hello?name=test' -d '{"name":"libuhttpd"}' -v

How to use on OpenWRT

    uloop_run();
done:
    uloop_done();
    srv->free(srv);
