Top 23 C++ HTTP Projects

aria2
aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source, cross platform download utility operated in command-line. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink.
Project mention: How to share volumes between pods in kubernetes | reddit.com/r/kubernetes | 2022-01-21If you just need to copy a few files from A to B, dragging in the entire filesystem API is overkill. You don't need locking, directory caching, atomic rename, block mapping, fsync, user ID translation, mmaping, etc. You can't make trade-offs like "if there is a network problem, do this instead", because the filesystem MUST hide all that from you. You can't decide "this file should be downloaded with 10 concurrent connections to make it faster".

AFAIK, Websockets are built on HTTP. Have a look at https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets.
-
Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

wfrest is a c++ async micro web framework based on C++ Workflow
-
drogon
Drogon: A C++14/17/20 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows
Yes. It is possible. There are a few frameworks available. One of them is https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon. Another one is https://github.com/scylladb/seastar. There are a few more. The benchmark page on drogon's page can take you there. If you don't find any of them useful, you can write your own server.

C++ REST SDK
The C++ REST SDK is a Microsoft project for cloud-based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. This project aims to help C++ developers connect to and interact with services.
Assuming you want to make a REST API check this out: https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk
-
adding in one slightly larger lib (sockets+a protocol, eg https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/), or multiple smaller libs that work together (boost) makes little difference. zero dependencies would make a difference -- one and two do not.
-
SonarLint

Project mention: Same algorithm is much faster in node.js than in Golang. Why? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-11-19
Calling out to much lower level code is also really simple in Node. (Go obviously has the bindings here too) but it’s how libraries like uWebSockets.js beat the pants off of any other Go websocket libraries.
-
It's got several C++ wrappers if you prefer those, my favourite is C++ requests

Project mention: Suggestions for a minimal and simple http client library? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2021-11-02
Boost Beast?

Hey everyone, here is a go-style coroutine library in C++11, Could it help?
-
Restbed
Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.
Project mention: What does modern (good) API development look like and what are the best tools to use? | reddit.com/r/AskProgramming | 2021-09-02Contrary to the direction most people go, I've been writing REST APIs as C++ servers using two different fairly full featured C++ REST frameworks: first using https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed and more lately using https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio. These can be peers with any other server, while living on embedded and/or high compute devices for video encode/decode/analysis, deployed ML models, encryption for and remote process communications, model data collection and similar expensive or in-field processing. In both high compute and in-field-no-internet situations creating REST APIs in C++ enables speed and system controls not present in the majority of the mainstream REST frameworks. It's a big world, and here comes ubiquitous high compute...

Project mention: I have a command-line based C++ program. How can I add a REST API to it? | reddit.com/r/Cplusplus | 2021-07-23
You can implement restful APIs using CURL or ASIO. For instance, https://github.com/mrtazz/restclient-cpp

Project mention: Researchers: Do you use idle computer labs as your cluster? | reddit.com/r/HPC | 2021-12-17
Squid Cache This is a cache/proxy server you can put in different network locations to reduce bandwidth between building or to the internet. Really useful for speeding up CVMFS.

RESTinio
Cross-platform, efficient, customizable, and robust asynchronous HTTP/WebSocket server C++14 library with the right balance between performance and ease of use

IXWebSocket
websocket and http client and server library, coming with ws, a command line swiss army knife utility
Project mention: Where to find Cpp Backend with websocket JSON examples? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2021-05-27If you're looking for a simple websocket lib with minimal dependencies, https://github.com/machinezone/IXWebSocket might be a good choice. It doesn't need Boost or ASIO (most other websocket libs do), TLS and ZLIB are optional.

If so, here is an example from my own web server library. I think the HTML + javascript should work with the existing backend implemented with the WebServer library that ships with the core too. I does not have a progress bar or any other nice to have features but it's as simple as it gets.

Kiwix is an offline reader that allows users to browse entire copies of Wikipedia (ca. 83Gb for the whole thing, incl. images), StackExchange (new release coming up soon), the Gutenberg project, etc. stored locally. The project is fully FOSS (here's the git repo) and the subreddit is r/Kiwix.
