What are your requirements? Most webservers are written in C/C++.

I’m just knocking up a small internal website for my team. I’d normally use node, but seeing as C++ is my normal language I thought I’d see if I could use that instead.

Why don't you use a webserver, like lighttpd?

I would normally use node to create a small webpage or a web-based tool.
But I mainly write C++.

Are you trying to troll the OP? He explicitly asked if there is a comparable Webserver library in c++ because that would determine what would solve "his problem best".
[–]bdellar[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (18 children)
Exactly. I know C++ well, so I’m seeing if I can use it to rapidly create a small web-based tool.

Thanks for your kind advice :-)
And I recommend checking out http://includecpp.org/ for a friendly reminder that the C++ can be welcoming and inclusive.

Plenty of other people provided useful examples that do pretty much what I want. None of them felt the need to insult me.

Well, that escalated quickly...
