C/C++ libraries for HTTP programming

Question

C/C++ - Any good web server library?

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.

Haven't started yet, could be either, would choose based on what's available to me. — harschware, Sep 15 '10 at 02:40

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

Now down to 40 bytes, how lucky we are that they fought to gain those 8 superfluous bytes oO – Matthieu M. Sep 15 '10 at 06:22

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

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

You can use http://sourceforge.net/projects/aclcpp/.

This library supports HTTP Servlet just like Java Servlet, written by C++, which includes

HttpServlet(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)
HttpSession
HttpCookie

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

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

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

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

`libcurl` is a client-side HTTP library, I believe the OP is looking for a server-side library. – caf Sep 15 '10 at 03:38
Yes, I apologize for not being explicit. – harschware Sep 15 '10 at 03:48
