I want to write a simple web server that handle https request. The ssl identity will be store in the keychain. I can read and write from there.
But how can I make it running forever application that wait for a http request and respond?
I am very new to Mac programming. Experience with iPhone and Java.
I tried CocoaHTTPServer, the samples are GUI applications. When I use the source in a command line project it run and exits. If I add a runloop, it stays. Is it the right way to use it?
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
@autoreleasepool {
[DDLog addLogger:[DDTTYLogger sharedInstance]];
HTTPServer *httpServer = [[HTTPServer alloc] init];
[httpServer setPort:TCP_PORT_NUMBER];
[httpServer setConnectionClass:[MyHTTPConnection class]];
// Serve files from the standard Sites folder
NSString *docRoot = [@"~/Sites" stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
DDLogCInfo(@"Setting document root: %@", docRoot);
[httpServer setDocumentRoot:docRoot];
NSError *error = nil;
if(![httpServer start:&error])
{
DDLogCError(@"Error starting HTTP Server: %@", error);
}
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] run];
}
return 0;
}
