Good question.
It's currently on qt-labs, see
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/q/project:qt-labs/qthttpserver,n,z
for recent reviews.

And a fourth alternative: https://github.com/nitroshare/qhttpengine
which is MIT licensed.

I guess the more interesting questions which this research project
needs to answer are things like: what changes in qtbase are needed to
allow this to be used in secure production code (e.g., Thiago
mentioned that QTcpSocket is fully-buffered with unlimited buffer
sizes, which seems a recipe for disaster in certain circumstances).

Purpose of HTTP server is to handle requests from clients by HTTP protocol and 
send replies according to some business logic. It may also include built-in 
capability of serving static files.

That would be application server, for running PHP application in this case.

That would be some web framework then, not mere HTTP server

About time :-) I wrote my first HTTP/S server in Qt 10 years ago!

Now, I wonder what is the purpose of this http server? Surely, not serving PHP!?

Perhaps making it easy to serve a RESTful QObject-based hierarchy?

Re: [Development] Repository request: HTTP server

2017-10-06 Thread Richard Moore 
There are also some http servers that I've written. I think requirements
should include:

- Extensible
- Easy to support SSL/TLS
- Support for client certs

I think we talked about some of this at least years network summit...

Cheers

Rich.

This is not something similar to what Tufao and Cutelyst are? Perhaps it would 
be nice to talk to them and see if they can share code.

I'll add a 3rd alternative which are have to started to use for a new 
product:

Within open source projects- which are often created for the fun of 
creating something - "work together" proposals don't go anywhere however

Thanks, Lars. No, I am not going to be the maintainer, this is somewhat
