Boost.Http.Proto
This is currently NOT an official Boost library.
Overview
Boost.Http.Proto is a portable, low-level C++ library which provides containers and algorithms for implementing the HTTP/1.1 protocol described in the document Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing, henceforth referred to as rfc7232.
Boost.Http.Proto offers these features:
- Require only C++11
- Works without exceptions
- Fast compilation, no templates
- Strict compliance with rfc7230
Requirements
- Requires Boost and a compiler supporting at least C++11
- Aliases for standard types use their Boost equivalents
- Link to a built static or dynamic Boost library, or use header-only (see below)
- Supports -fno-exceptions, detected automatically
Header-Only
To eliminate the requirement to link a program to a static or dynamic Boost.Http.Proto library, simply place the following line in exactly one source file in your project.
#include <boost/http_proto/src.hpp>
Embedded
Boost.Http.Proto works great on embedded devices. It is designed to work without exceptions if desired.
Supported Compilers
Boost.Http.Proto has been tested with the following compilers:
- clang: 3.8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- gcc: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- msvc: 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 14.3
Quality Assurance
The development infrastructure for the library includes these per-commit analyses:
- Coverage reports
- Benchmark performance comparisons
- Compilation and tests on Drone.io, Azure Pipelines, Appveyor
- Fuzzing using clang-llvm and machine learning
