title: Todo for MiniHttp
date: "2023-01-03"

MiniHttp - SAND

#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
	std::cout << "MINI HTTP\n";

	return 0;
}

This project is using only rapidJson as extern library

Todo:

• Cleanup of code and simplifying of code
  • This is the next prio
• Send json object back to client.
  • Add function to construct object.
• Check reachable code
• Add more functions to jsonParser_t so we can use it for more stuff within the server
  • Now we can extract bool, string, ints and arrays this should be fine for now
  • Additionally, I need to add to parse further nested objects.
• Add remaining http methods
• Improve parser
  • This is improved for now. Still not happy with it
• Add Unit_tests --> This will probably never happen
• Check get_in_addr function --> I forgot what I wanted to check here
• Summarize how kqueue, kevent works
• Simplify server_static_function / Make it easier to use
• Check if handle_read is working okay?!
• Add PHP support -> Thanks to mujtaba
• Add dynamic routing stuff
• HttpRequest_t SimpleHttpServer_t::handle_read fix that ugly methode wtf
• Code:
  • Layout
    • Public methodes
    • Public members
    • Private methodes
    • Private members
• I am only here for the new year commit

Serving static files

• Added this
• Files in static folder are served
• Removed adding of headers in "serve_static_file" function, so we can use the setter function. Also using " buildResponseBody" is now possible

Add remaining http methods -> post,delete,put

• [x] GET
• [x] POST
• [ ] PUT
• [ ] DELETE

Fix recv and send function to send whole data safe!

• Added, for valid requests/response
• Need to add for paths which are not registered

Optimize Server with Threads

• Adding separate thread for listen and for event handling
  • The listener thread should only listen for incoming connections and add them to the kqueue
  • Added. The listener thread works in own thread and adds new connections to the kqueue.
  • Added. Worker threads have each their own kqueue and operate on this kqueue. The listener thread adds connections to each of the workers kqueue
• Splitting start server into multiple functions
  • Done. Start server function has been split in multiple smaller functions

Check get_in_addr function

• For ip network format to string
• Probably inet_ntop function is wrongly used
• Make Ip to string conversion work with sockaddr_storage, so we can later handle IPv4 and IPv6

Using Kqueue

• How to use it
• What is it
• How does it work?
