C/C++ libraries for HTTP programming

Question

What well known C/C++ libraries are out there that could allow one to implement servlets, or at least provide most of the essentials for dealing with HTTP/CGI protocols such as http headers, error codes, cookies, GET/POST etc.

So far I have only found CPPSERV.

EDIT: Looking for server side solutions.

Answer 1

Here's one in C with ridiculous performance characteristics: ry's http-parser.

Answer 2

I would recommend looking at libcurl given curl's popular usage.

Answer 3

One way to do this is to write your servlet as an Apache module - Apache itself then acts as the HTTP server-side library.

Answer 4

You may have some luck plugging into Mongrel2, although I've never tried.

Answer 5

CppCMS and Wt both spring to mind, given your requirements.

The official FastCGI library can also operate in a "servlet" mode.

Answer 6

Tntnet

Answer 7

I would recommend you to take a look on CppCMS web framework, it has all you ask for.
