Http-server

HTTP Server over TCP/ICN

This is an implementation of a HTTP server able to serve client requests using both TCP and ICN as transport protocol.

This project is a fork from the http server implemented by Ole Christian Eidheim and open sourced at https://github.com/eidheim/Simple-Web-Server.

In the ICN flavour, so far, we support just the GET method. Later we'll be implementing the remaining methods as well.

Dependencies

• libboost-regex-dev
• libboost-system-dev
• libboost-filesystem-dev
• libicnet

Install the HTTP-Server

Installation from binary packages

Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04

 $ echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://nexus.fd.io/content/repositories/fd.io.master.ubuntu.$(lsb_release -sc).main/ ./" \
          | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/99fd.io.list
 $ sudo apt-get update
 $ sudo apt-get install http-server

Centos 7

$ sudo yum install http-server

Installation from source code

For installing the application:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

Usage

For starting the http-server, from the build folder:

 $ cd build
 $ ./http-server

The server now is: - serving files from the folder /var/www/html - Listening on the icn name /webserver - Listening on the TCP port 8080

For retrieving a content through icn, the name must have the following format:

iget http://webserver/get/file.mp4

The server accept two option through the command line:

 $ ./http-server -h
 http-server [-p PATH_TO_ROOT_FOOT_FOLDER] [-l WEBSERVER_PREFIX]

The default values are /var/www/html for the root folder and ccnx:/webserver for the icn name.
