Detailed Description

A class for creating a simple HTTP server inside of applications.

Method Documentation

◆ server

+ (instancetype) server

Creates a new HTTP server.

Returns: A new HTTP server

◆ start

- (void) start

Starts the HTTP server in the current thread's run loop.

Exceptions

OFAlreadyOpenException The server had already been started

Property Documentation

◆ host

- (OFString *) host

readwriteatomic

The host on which the HTTP server will listen.

Exceptions

OFAlreadyOpenException The host could not be set because start had already been called

◆ name

- (OFString*) name

readwriteatomic

The server name the server presents to clients.

Setting it to nil means no Server header will be sent, unless one is specified in the response headers.

◆ numberOfThreads

- (size_t) numberOfThreads

readwritenonatomicassign

The number of threads the OFHTTPServer should use.

If this is larger than 1 (the default), one thread will be used to accept incoming connections and all others will be used to handle connections.

For maximum CPU utilization, set this to [OFSystemInfo numberOfCPUs] + 1.

Exceptions

OFAlreadyOpenException The number of threads could not be set because start had already been called

◆ port

- (uint16_t) port

readwritenonatomicassign

The port on which the HTTP server will listen.

Exceptions

OFAlreadyOpenException The port could not be set because start had already been called
