An example of an http server using epoll and thread pools written in C.
The server will read up to 8k of header data into a hash table attached to each request.
In addition there's an automic request counter attached the the server_ctx_t that counts the number of requests and sends them back in the response headers.
The project requires cmake and can be built using make
The following make parameters can be passed into configure the demo.
# number of thread workers to pre allocate
THREAD_POOL={NUMBER OF THREADS}
# use a memory pool for the http read buffers
# they are off by default
USE_MEM_POOL=1
# example of release build w/threadpool of 16 with http buffer memory pool
make config build BUILD_TYPE=Release THREAD_POOL=16 USE_MEM_POOL=1
# binary will be in the repos bin dir
./bin/server 8080
