Struct micro_http_server::MicroHTTP

pub struct MicroHTTP { /* fields omitted */ }

This is the main struct of the µHTTP server.

Methods

impl MicroHTTP

pub fn new(interface: &str) -> Result<MicroHTTP, Error>

Create a new MicroHTTP server on the given interface.microhttp

Internally, this just tries to create a TcpListener - nothing special. Returns the new MicroHTTP server or an std::io::Error on error.

Example

use micro_http_server::MicroHTTP;

let interface: &str = "127.0.0.1:3000";
let server = MicroHTTP::new(interface)
    .expect("Could not create server, maybe the port is already being used?");

pub fn next_client(&self) -> Result<Option<Client>, Error>

Return the next available client which is incoming at this server.

Returns either:

• Some(client) if a client is available
• None if no client is currently available (i.e. no one has reached out to the server yet)
• std::io::Error if something is wrong with the server.

Example

use std::{io::{Read,Write},net::TcpStream};
use micro_http_server::MicroHTTP;

let server = MicroHTTP::new("127.0.0.1:3000").expect("Could not create server.");
println!("[Server] Waiting for a client @ 127.0.0.1:3000...");

loop {
    let result = server.next_client();
    if result.is_err() {
        println!("Something is wrong with the client: {:?}", result.unwrap_err());
        break;
    }

    match result.unwrap() {
        None => {
            // Here you can sleep or do something else.
            println!("Still waiting for clients...");
        },
        Some(client) => {
            println!("Got a new client from: {:?}", client.addr());
        }
    }
}
