Fastcgi
A simple C++ implementation of fastcgi protocol which enables you to write your web application logic in C++.
Usage
Implementing a fastcgi application is easy, one should first create a class that inherits responder, then server class that accepts incoming requests.
#include "../server.h"
#include "../responder.h"
#include <string.h>
class helloWorld : public fastcgi::responder
{
public:
void respond()
{
const char *test =
"Content-Type: text/html\n"
"Content-Length: 115\n"
"\n"
"<!DOCTYPE html>\n"
"<html>\n"
"\t<head>\n"
"\t\t<title>Wellcome!</title>\n"
"\t</head>\n"
"\t<body>\n"
"\t\t<h1>Hello World!</h1>\n"
"\t</body>\n"
"</html>";
writeBody(test, strlen(test));
};
};
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
fastcgi::server app(new helloWorld);
app.accept();
return 0;
}You must run the application yourself and point the web sever to which port server is listening (default is 8080).
Simple Nginx configuration that should work with fastcgi:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass localhost:8080;
}
}Building
The build system is CMake and there should be no problem building on Linux. MS Windows is not supported yet.
First clone:
$ git clone https://github.com/rabbanian/fastcgi.gitThen make a build directory:
$ mkdir fastcgi/build/
$ cd fastcgi/build/Run CMake:
$ cmake ..And Make:
$ make
