cpp-httplib
===========

[![](https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/workflows/test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/actions)

A C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library.

It's extremely easy to setup. Just include the **httplib.h** file in your code!

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This library uses 'blocking' socket I/O. If you are looking for a library with 'non-blocking' socket I/O, this is not the one that you want.

Simple examples
---------------

#### Server (Multi-threaded)

```c++
#define CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT
#include "path/to/httplib.h"

// HTTP
httplib::Server svr;

// HTTPS
httplib::SSLServer svr;

svr.Get("/hi", [](const httplib::Request &, httplib::Response &res) {
  res.set_content("Hello World!", "text/plain");
});

svr.listen("0.0.0.0", 8080);
```

#### Client

```c++
#define CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT
#include "path/to/httplib.h"

// HTTP
httplib::Client cli("http://yhirose.github.io");

// HTTPS
httplib::Client cli("https://yhirose.github.io");

auto res = cli.Get("/hi");
res->status;
res->body;
```

SSL Support
-----------

SSL support is available with `CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT`. `libssl` and `libcrypto` should be linked.

> [!NOTE]
> cpp-httplib currently supports only version 3.0 or later. Please see [this page](https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html) to get more information.

> [!TIP]
> For macOS: cpp-httplib now can use system certs with `CPPHTTPLIB_USE_CERTS_FROM_MACOSX_KEYCHAIN`. `CoreFoundation` and `Security` should be linked with `-framework`.

```c++
#define CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT
#include "path/to/httplib.h"

// Server
httplib::SSLServer svr("./cert.pem", "./key.pem");

// Client
httplib::Client cli("https://localhost:1234"); // scheme + host
httplib::SSLClient cli("localhost:1234"); // host
httplib::SSLClient cli("localhost", 1234); // host, port

// Use your CA bundle
cli.set_ca_cert_path("./ca-bundle.crt");

// Disable cert verification
cli.enable_server_certificate_verification(false);

// Disable host verification
cli.enable_server_hostname_verification(false);
```

> [!NOTE]
> When using SSL, it seems impossible to avoid SIGPIPE in all cases, since on some operating systems, SIGPIPE can only be suppressed on a per-message basis, but there is no way to make the OpenSSL library do so for its internal communications. If your program needs to avoid being terminated on SIGPIPE, the only fully general way might be to set up a signal handler for SIGPIPE to handle or ignore it yourself.

Server
------

```c++
#include <httplib.h>

int main(void)
{
  using namespace httplib;

  Server svr;

  svr.Get("/hi", [](const Request& req, Response& res) {
    res.set_content("Hello World!", "text/plain");
  });

  // Match the request path against a regular expression
  // and extract its captures
  svr.Get(R"(/numbers/(\d+))", [&](const Request& req, Response& res) {
    auto numbers = req.matches[1];
    res.set_content(numbers, "text/plain");
  });

  // Capture the second segment of the request path as "id" path param
  svr.Get("/users/:id", [&](const Request& req, Response& res) {
    auto user_id = req.path_params.at("id");
    res.set_content(user_id, "text/plain");
  });

  // Extract values from HTTP headers and URL query params
  svr.Get("/body-header-param", [](const Request& req, Response& res) {
    if (req.has_header("Content-Length")) {
      auto val = req.get_header_value("Content-Length");
    }
    if (req.has_param("key")) {
      auto val = req.get_param_value("key");
    }
    res.set_content(req.body, "text/plain");
  });

  // If the handler takes time to finish, you can also poll the connection state
  svr.Get("/task", [&](const Request& req, Response& res) {
    const char * result = nullptr;
    process.run(); // for example, starting an external process
    while (result == nullptr) {
      sleep(1);
      if (req.is_connection_closed()) {
        process.kill(); // kill the process
        return;
      }
      result = process.stdout(); // != nullptr if the process finishes
    }
    res.set_content(result, "text/plain");
  });

  svr.Get("/stop", [&](const Request& req, Response& res) {
    svr.stop();
  });

  svr.listen("localhost", 1234);
}
```

`Post`, `Put`, `Delete` and `Options` methods are also supported.

### Bind a socket to multiple interfaces and any available port

```cpp
int port = svr.bind_to_any_port("0.0.0.0");
svr.listen_after_bind();
```

### Static File Server

```cpp
// Mount / to ./www directory
auto ret = svr.set_mount_point("/", "./www");
if (!ret) {
  // The specified base directory doesn't exist...
}

// Mount /public to ./www directory
ret = svr.set_mount_point("/public", "./www");

// Mount /public to ./www1 and ./www2 directories
ret = svr.set_mount_point("/public", "./www1"); // 1st order to search
ret = svr.set_mount_point("/public", "./www2"); // 2nd order to search

// Remove mount /
ret = svr.remove_mount_point("/");

// Remove mount /public
ret = svr.remove_mount_point("/public");
```

```cpp
// User defined file extension and MIME type mappings
svr.set_file_extension_and_mimetype_mapping("cc", "text/x-c");
svr.set_file_extension_and_mimetype_mapping("cpp", "text/x-c");
svr.set_file_extension_and_mimetype_mapping("hh", "text/x-h");
```

The followings are built-in mappings:

| Extension  |          MIME Type          | Extension  |          MIME Type          |

> [!WARNING]
> These static file server methods are not thread-safe.

### File request handler

```cpp
// The handler is called right before the response is sent to a client
svr.set_file_request_handler([](const Request &req, Response &res) {
  ...
});
```

### Logging

```cpp
svr.set_logger([](const auto& req, const auto& res) {
  your_logger(req, res);
});
```

### Error handler

```cpp
svr.set_error_handler([](const auto& req, auto& res) {
  auto fmt = "<p>Error Status: <span style='color:red;'>%d</span></p>";
  char buf[BUFSIZ];
  snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, res.status);
  res.set_content(buf, "text/html");
});
```

### Exception handler
The exception handler gets called if a user routing handler throws an error.

```cpp
svr.set_exception_handler([](const auto& req, auto& res, std::exception_ptr ep) {
  auto fmt = "<h1>Error 500</h1><p>%s</p>";
  char buf[BUFSIZ];
  try {
    std::rethrow_exception(ep);
  } catch (std::exception &e) {
    snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, e.what());
  } catch (...) { // See the following NOTE
    snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, "Unknown Exception");
  }
  res.set_content(buf, "text/html");
  res.status = StatusCode::InternalServerError_500;
});
```

> [!CAUTION]
> if you don't provide the `catch (...)` block for a rethrown exception pointer, an uncaught exception will end up causing the server crash. Be careful!

### Pre routing handler

```cpp
svr.set_pre_routing_handler([](const auto& req, auto& res) {
  if (req.path == "/hello") {
    res.set_content("world", "text/html");
    return Server::HandlerResponse::Handled;
  }
  return Server::HandlerResponse::Unhandled;
});
```

### Post routing handler

```cpp
svr.set_post_routing_handler([](const auto& req, auto& res) {
  res.set_header("ADDITIONAL_HEADER", "value");
});
```

### 'multipart/form-data' POST data

```cpp
svr.Post("/multipart", [&](const auto& req, auto& res) {
  auto size = req.files.size();
  auto ret = req.has_file("name1");
  const auto& file = req.get_file_value("name1");
  // file.filename;
  // file.content_type;
  // file.content;
});
```

### Receive content with a content receiver

```cpp
svr.Post("/content_receiver",
  [&](const Request &req, Response &res, const ContentReader &content_reader) {
    if (req.is_multipart_form_data()) {
      // NOTE: `content_reader` is blocking until every form data field is read
      MultipartFormDataItems files;
      content_reader(
        [&](const MultipartFormData &file) {
          files.push_back(file);
          return true;
        },
        [&](const char *data, size_t data_length) {
          files.back().content.append(data, data_length);
          return true;
        });
    } else {
      std::string body;
      content_reader([&](const char *data, size_t data_length) {
        body.append(data, data_length);
        return true;
      });
    }
  });
```

### Send content with the content provider

```cpp
const size_t DATA_CHUNK_SIZE = 4;

svr.Get("/stream", [&](const Request &req, Response &res) {
  auto data = new std::string("abcdefg");

  res.set_content_provider(
    data->size(), // Content length
    "text/plain", // Content type
    [&, data](size_t offset, size_t length, DataSink &sink) {
      const auto &d = *data;
      sink.write(&d[offset], std::min(length, DATA_CHUNK_SIZE));
      return true; // return 'false' if you want to cancel the process.
    },
    [data](bool success) { delete data; });
});
```

Without content length:

```cpp
svr.Get("/stream", [&](const Request &req, Response &res) {
  res.set_content_provider(
    "text/plain", // Content type
    [&](size_t offset, DataSink &sink) {
      if (/* there is still data */) {
        std::vector<char> data;
        // prepare data...
        sink.write(data.data(), data.size());
      } else {
        sink.done(); // No more data
      }
      return true; // return 'false' if you want to cancel the process.
    });
});
```

### Chunked transfer encoding

```cpp
svr.Get("/chunked", [&](const Request& req, Response& res) {
  res.set_chunked_content_provider(
    "text/plain",
    [](size_t offset, DataSink &sink) {
      sink.write("123", 3);
      sink.write("345", 3);
      sink.write("789", 3);
      sink.done(); // No more data
      return true; // return 'false' if you want to cancel the process.
    }
  );
});
```

With trailer:

```cpp
svr.Get("/chunked", [&](const Request& req, Response& res) {
  res.set_header("Trailer", "Dummy1, Dummy2");
  res.set_chunked_content_provider(
    "text/plain",
    [](size_t offset, DataSink &sink) {
      sink.write("123", 3);
      sink.write("345", 3);
      sink.write("789", 3);
      sink.done_with_trailer({
        {"Dummy1", "DummyVal1"},
        {"Dummy2", "DummyVal2"}
      });
      return true;
    }
  );
});
```

### Send file content

```cpp
svr.Get("/content", [&](const Request &req, Response &res) {
  res.set_file_content("./path/to/content.html");
});

svr.Get("/content", [&](const Request &req, Response &res) {
  res.set_file_content("./path/to/content", "text/html");
});
```

### 'Expect: 100-continue' handler

By default, the server sends a `100 Continue` response for an `Expect: 100-continue` header.

```cpp
// Send a '417 Expectation Failed' response.
svr.set_expect_100_continue_handler([](const Request &req, Response &res) {
  return StatusCode::ExpectationFailed_417;
});
```

```cpp
// Send a final status without reading the message body.
svr.set_expect_100_continue_handler([](const Request &req, Response &res) {
  return res.status = StatusCode::Unauthorized_401;
});
```

### Keep-Alive connection

```cpp
svr.set_keep_alive_max_count(2); // Default is 5
svr.set_keep_alive_timeout(10);  // Default is 5
```

### Timeout

```c++
svr.set_read_timeout(5, 0); // 5 seconds
svr.set_write_timeout(5, 0); // 5 seconds
svr.set_idle_interval(0, 100000); // 100 milliseconds
```

### Set maximum payload length for reading a request body

```c++
svr.set_payload_max_length(1024 * 1024 * 512); // 512MB
```

> [!NOTE]
> When the request body content type is 'www-form-urlencoded', the actual payload length shouldn't exceed `CPPHTTPLIB_FORM_URL_ENCODED_PAYLOAD_MAX_LENGTH`.

### Server-Sent Events

Please see [Server example](https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/blob/master/example/ssesvr.cc) and [Client example](https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/blob/master/example/ssecli.cc).

### Default thread pool support

`ThreadPool` is used as the **default** task queue, with a default thread count of 8 or `std::thread::hardware_concurrency() - 1`, whichever is greater. You can change it with `CPPHTTPLIB_THREAD_POOL_COUNT`.

If you want to set the thread count at runtime, there is no convenient way... But here is how.

```cpp
svr.new_task_queue = [] { return new ThreadPool(12); };
```

You can also provide an optional parameter to limit the maximum number
of pending requests, i.e. requests `accept()`ed by the listener but
still waiting to be serviced by worker threads.

```cpp
svr.new_task_queue = [] { return new ThreadPool(/*num_threads=*/12, /*max_queued_requests=*/18); };
```

Default limit is 0 (unlimited). Once the limit is reached, the listener
will shutdown the client connection.

### Override the default thread pool with yours

You can supply your own thread pool implementation according to your need.

```cpp
class YourThreadPoolTaskQueue : public TaskQueue {
public:
  YourThreadPoolTaskQueue(size_t n) {
    pool_.start_with_thread_count(n);
  }

  virtual bool enqueue(std::function<void()> fn) override {
    /* Return true if the task was actually enqueued, or false
     * if the caller must drop the corresponding connection. */
    return pool_.enqueue(fn);
  }

  virtual void shutdown() override {
    pool_.shutdown_gracefully();
  }

private:
  YourThreadPool pool_;
};

svr.new_task_queue = [] {
  return new YourThreadPoolTaskQueue(12);
};
```

Client
------

```c++
#include <httplib.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
  httplib::Client cli("localhost", 1234);

  if (auto res = cli.Get("/hi")) {
    if (res->status == StatusCode::OK_200) {
      std::cout << res->body << std::endl;
    }
  } else {
    auto err = res.error();
    std::cout << "HTTP error: " << httplib::to_string(err) << std::endl;
  }
}
```

> [!TIP]
> Constructor with scheme-host-port string is now supported!

```c++
httplib::Client cli("localhost");
httplib::Client cli("localhost:8080");
httplib::Client cli("http://localhost");
httplib::Client cli("http://localhost:8080");

```

```cpp
httplib::make_range_header({{1, 10}, {20, -1}})      // 'Range: bytes=1-10, 20-'
httplib::make_range_header({{100, 199}, {500, 599}}) // 'Range: bytes=100-199, 500-599'
httplib::make_range_header({{0, 0}, {-1, 1}})        // 'Range: bytes=0-0, -1'
```

### Keep-Alive connection

```cpp
httplib::Client cli("localhost", 1234);

cli.Get("/hello");         // with "Connection: close"

cli.set_keep_alive(true);
cli.Get("/world");

cli.set_keep_alive(false);
cli.Get("/last-request");  // with "Connection: close"
```

### Redirect

```cpp
httplib::Client cli("yahoo.com");

auto res = cli.Get("/");
res->status; // 301

cli.set_follow_location(true);
res = cli.Get("/");
res->status; // 200
```

### Use a specific network interface

> [!NOTE]
> This feature is not available on Windows, yet.

```cpp
cli.set_interface("eth0"); // Interface name, IP address or host name
```

Compression
-----------

The server can apply compression to the following MIME type contents:

  * all text types except text/event-stream
  * image/svg+xml
  * application/javascript
  * application/json
  * application/xml
  * application/xhtml+xml

### Zlib Support

'gzip' compression is available with `CPPHTTPLIB_ZLIB_SUPPORT`. `libz` should be linked.

### Brotli Support

Brotli compression is available with `CPPHTTPLIB_BROTLI_SUPPORT`. Necessary libraries should be linked.
Please see https://github.com/google/brotli for more detail.

### Default `Accept-Encoding` value

The default `Accept-Encoding` value contains all possible compression types. So, the following two examples are same.

```c++
res = cli.Get("/resource/foo");
res = cli.Get("/resource/foo", {{"Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate, br"}});
```

If we don't want a response without compression, we have to set `Accept-Encoding` to an empty string. This behavior is similar to curl.

```c++
res = cli.Get("/resource/foo", {{"Accept-Encoding", ""}});
```

### Compress request body on client

```c++
cli.set_compress(true);
res = cli.Post("/resource/foo", "...", "text/plain");
```

### Compress response body on client

```c++
cli.set_decompress(false);
res = cli.Get("/resource/foo");
res->body; // Compressed data

```

Unix Domain Socket Support
--------------------------

Unix Domain Socket support is available on Linux and macOS.

```c++
// Server
httplib::Server svr;
svr.set_address_family(AF_UNIX).listen("./my-socket.sock", 80);

// Client
httplib::Client cli("./my-socket.sock");
cli.set_address_family(AF_UNIX);
```

"my-socket.sock" can be a relative path or an absolute path. You application must have the appropriate permissions for the path. You can also use an abstract socket address on Linux. To use an abstract socket address, prepend a null byte ('\x00') to the path.


Split httplib.h into .h and .cc
-------------------------------

```console
$ ./split.py -h
usage: split.py [-h] [-e EXTENSION] [-o OUT]

This script splits httplib.h into .h and .cc parts.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -e EXTENSION, --extension EXTENSION
                        extension of the implementation file (default: cc)
  -o OUT, --out OUT     where to write the files (default: out)

$ ./split.py
Wrote out/httplib.h and out/httplib.cc
```

Dockerfile for Static HTTP Server
---------------------------------

Dockerfile for static HTTP server is available. Port number of this HTTP server is 80, and it serves static files from `/html` directory in the container.

```bash
> docker build -t cpp-httplib-server .
...

> docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 -v ./docker/html:/html cpp-httplib-server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 80 ...

NOTE
----

### g++

g++ 4.8 and below cannot build this library since `<regex>` in the versions are [broken](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12530406/is-gcc-4-8-or-earlier-buggy-about-regular-expressions).

### Windows

Include `httplib.h` before `Windows.h` or include `Windows.h` by defining `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` beforehand.

```cpp
#include <httplib.h>
#include <Windows.h>
```

```cpp
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <Windows.h>
#include <httplib.h>
```

> [!NOTE]
> cpp-httplib officially supports only the latest Visual Studio. It might work with former versions of Visual Studio, but I can no longer verify it. Pull requests are always welcome for the older versions of Visual Studio unless they break the C++11 conformance.

> [!NOTE]
> Windows 8 or lower, Visual Studio 2015 or lower, and Cygwin and MSYS2 including MinGW are neither supported nor tested.
