http4s-cgi

This is an http4s-server backend which implements CGI, and is intended to be used with scala-native.

Motivation

AWS Lambda is the hot new thing, and it seems like CGI to me, so I've implemented CGI for http4s.

Example

import cats.effect.IO
import net.andmiller.http4s.cgi.CgiApp
import org.http4s.dsl.io._
import org.http4s.{HttpApp, HttpRoutes}

object HelloWorld extends CgiApp {
  override val routes: HttpApp[IO] = HttpRoutes
    .of[IO] { case GET -> Root / "hello" =>
      Ok("Hello world")
    }
    .orNotFound
}

Building the examples

nix-shell -p clang
sbt -mem 4096 "project examples; nativeLink"

Status

I'm not too sure I'd recommend using this, but it's very fast if you want to throw a few endpoints in a CGI compatible web server!
