Example Programs

hello_world.cpp - a very simple example of using libhttpserver to create a Rest server capable of receiving and processing HTTP requests. The server will be listening on port 8080.

service.cpp - an example using more of the libhttpserver API. This creates a Rest server capable of running with HTTP or HTTPS (provided that libhttpserver and libmicrohttpd have been compiled with SSL support.

The server can be configured via command line arguments: -p <port> - port number to listen on (default 8080) -s - enable HTTPS -k - server key filename (default "key.pem") -c - server certificate filename (default "cert.pem")

Creating Certificates

Self-signed certificates can be created using OpenSSL using the following steps:

$ openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:x -out server.pass.key 2048 $ openssl rsa -passin pass:x -in server.pass.key -out server.key $ openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr $ openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

On the last step when prompted for a challenge password it can be left empty.

Thanks to https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-certificate-self for these instructions.

Keystore configuration

If using a local client such as RestClient (https://github.com/wiztools/rest-client) for testing the Rest server then a keystore needs to be established. These commands should be bundled with your Java installation.

$ keytool -noprompt -import -keystore /path/to/restclient.store -alias restclient -file /path/to/server.crt

The keys in the store can be listed as follows:

$ keytool -list -v -keystore /path/to/restclient.store

The client can then be configured to use this keystore. Thanks to http://rubensgomes.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-set-up-restclient-for-ssl.html for instructions on configuring RestClient.
