Simple HTTP server with FCGI application.
- libconfig 1.5-3 for C language (with libconfig.h header)
- fcgi 2.4.0-12
Project include CMakeLists.txt.
If problems occured, please use makefile. Instructions:
Go to path:
cd /serwerHTTP
make
You can use config file config.cfg (which is in serverHTTP/bin directory) to set certain arguments.
Go to path /bin:
cd /serwerHTTP/bin
Run FCGI Application:
./fcgi
Run HTTP server with sudo privilege and type ip address and port respectively e.g.:
sudo ./serverHTTP 0.0.0.0 80
- GET
To test the GET method, use the Internet brower. Go to address 0.0.0.0 and you should see a simple "Hello world" message. Please make sure the server and fcgi application are running. You can also add additional parameters after the /, eg "0.0.0.0/test".
- POST
To test the POST method, you can use curl. It should be already installed on your computer system. If not, you can download it here. Examples of usage:
- Simple POST method.
The simplest POST method gets the similiar "Hello world" response.
curl -d "your_text_here" 0.0.0.0:80
- Sending a txt file with POST.
Sending the txt file with curl will be forwarded to the fcgi application and then, the fcgi app will create a new txt file with the same name and save the sent content.
curl -F "file=@path_to_txt_file" 0.0.0.0:80
- Sending file with a different extenstion with POST
Sending the file with a different extension (eg jpg or pdf files) will get a "Wrong file format" response.
curl -F "file=@path_to_a_different_file" 0.0.0.0:80
