1 | This tutorial is for developers who want to learn how they can add HTTP serving | ||
2 | capabilities to their applications with the @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} library, | ||
3 | abbreviated @emph{MHD}. The reader will learn how to | ||
4 | implement basic HTTP functions from simple executable | ||
5 | sample programs that implement various features. | ||
6 | |||
7 | The text is supposed to be a supplement to the API reference manual of | ||
8 | @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} and for that reason does not explain many of the parameters. | ||
9 | Therefore, the reader should always consult the manual to find the exact meaning | ||
10 | of the functions used in the tutorial. Furthermore, the reader is | ||
11 | encouraged to study the relevant @emph{RFCs}, which document the HTTP standard. | ||
12 | |||
13 | @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} is assumed to be already installed. This tutorial | ||
14 | is written for version @value{VERSION}. At the time being, | ||
15 | this tutorial has only been tested on @emph{GNU/Linux} machines even though | ||
16 | efforts were made not to rely on anything that would prevent the samples from being | ||
17 | built on similar systems. | ||
