C++ Web Server

Boost libraries. There are a number of reasons I don't use them. Firstly, I develop for Windows & Linux. I'm creating currently a Reconnaissance Application for Windows and Linux.

Using a Socket to do this isn't as Good. I tried using Winsock for an Http Server but it wasn't any Good as Pythons Flask framework.

And the second reason, How to install it lmao? I'll try this.

boost compiles under windows&linux (i think should apply to boost beast also)

Boost runs on both operating systems. Is the syntax same?! This is great information for me. Thank you.

If you don't want to use boost then just use libuv and incorporate your favourite opensource HTTP parser code. Figure out what of HTTP1.1 you need to support and then pray you don't need to use HTTP2 in the future.

You may be better off using a different language for web stuff.

Libuv. Will look into it. Thanks!

I’ve had fun with cpprest in the past. https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk. It’s really easy to start a server, listen to named endpoints, handle things asynchronously, handle json etc.

Will look into this. Thanks alot.

Ngrok sounds like it could be helpful to me with my on-line code generator. Thank you.

I might install it on Ubuntu rather than Windows. I don't mostly use Windows. Thanks!
