Overview
--------
"Web server refers to server software, or hardware dedicated to running said software, that can serve contents to the World Wide Web. A web server processes incoming network requests over the HTTP protocol (and several other related protocols)." -- [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_server)
Example
-------
```C++
#include <string>
#include <memory>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <fstream>
#include <restbed>
#include <streambuf>
using namespace std;
using namespace restbed;
void get_method_handler( const shared_ptr< Session > session )
{
const auto request = session->get_request( );
const string filename = request->get_path_parameter( "filename" );
ifstream stream( "./" + filename, ifstream::in );
if ( stream.is_open( ) )
{
const string body = string( istreambuf_iterator< char >( stream ), istreambuf_iterator< char >( ) );
const multimap< string, string > headers
{
{ "Content-Type", "text/html" },
{ "Content-Length", ::to_string( body.length( ) ) }
};
session->close( OK, body, headers );
}
else
{
session->close( NOT_FOUND );
}
}
int main( const int, const char** )
{
auto resource = make_shared< Resource >( );
resource->set_path( "/static/{filename: [a-z]*\\.html}" );
resource->set_method_handler( "GET", get_method_handler );
auto settings = make_shared< Settings >( );
settings->set_port( 1984 );
settings->set_default_header( "Connection", "close" );
Service service;
service.publish( resource );
service.start( settings );
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
```
