Mountain CMS Notes
Daniel A. White
This is by far a very incomplete web server using pthreads and sqlite.
All you need to do to compile it is call to `make`. This will build everything.
To run it, execute `./mtn-cms`. No parameters are implemeted at this time.
To test, run `telnet` with like this from another terminal
telnet localhost 27000
To retrieve a page (only page1 and page2 exist); type `GET page1` or
`GET page2`
If run in succession (within the 60 time to live window), the page returned
will be from cache. The pages are date stamped to show this. Once 60 seconds
has elapsed, the cache is no longer used, but then the page is rebuilt and
stamped.
This is my basic structure.
~~ Main Thread ~~
| Open and listen for connection
| On accept() unblocking
| \
| | ~~ Child Thread (mtn_cms_http_worker) ~~
| \
| | Read the header
| | Process the header
| | Get the Page (or build it if needed)
| | Build response header
| | Write the response header
| | Write the page data
| | Close the connection
| * Thread dies
| Loop back and wait for another on accept()
I hope this is all good for you. I am so sorry it took me so long.
Some notes: I didnt write CppSqlite3 or even SQLite for that matter. Its from
