Getting Started

To use cpp-http, include the cpphttp.hpp header in your project. It depends on cpp-tcpnet (the foundational network engine), which in turn depends on cpp-pubsub and cpp-asyncworker.

Integration

1. CMake: FetchContent (Recommended)

You can have CMake automatically download and integrate cpp-http and its dependencies.

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(
  cpphttp
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/jonoton/cpp-http.git
  GIT_TAG main
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(cpphttp)

add_executable(my_app main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(my_app PRIVATE cpphttp::cpphttp)

By linking cpphttp::cpphttp, CMake will automatically set up the header include paths and pull in the cpp-tcpnet dependency as well.

2. Manual Compilation (Without CMake)

If you are compiling manually without CMake, you will need to add all sibling library include folders to your header search path:

• cpp-http
• cpp-tcpnet
• cpp-pubsub
• cpp-asyncworker

On Linux/macOS, you must link the pthread library. On Windows, socket libraries are handled automatically.

# Basic compilation command:
g++ -std=c++17 -pthread -I/path/to/cpp-http -I/path/to/cpp-tcpnet -I/path/to/cpp-pubsub -I/path/to/cpp-asyncworker main.cpp -o my_app
