Overview
This library provides an interface for implementing an embedded,
lightweight server that can be used to provide access to documents and
other resources using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The
server can accept connections from any standard web browser, third-party
applications or programs developed using the SocketTools HTTP client API.
The application specifies an initial server configuration and then
responds to events that are generated when the client sends a
request to the server. An application may implement only minimal
handlers for most events, in which case the default actions are
performed for most standard HTTP commands. However, an application may
also use the event mechanism to filter specific commands or to extend
the protocol by providing custom implementations of existing commands
or add entirely new commands.
The server includes support for CGI scripting, virtual hosting,
client authentication and the creation of virtual directories and
files. The server also supports secure connections using TLS 1.2
and later versions. Secure connections require that a valid security
certificate be installed on the system.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any
programming language which supports calling functions exported from a
standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0
it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. You should
install all updates for your development tools and have the current
Windows SDK installed. The minimum recommended version of Visual Studio
is Visual Studio 2010.
This library is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for your version of the
operating system.
This library provides an implementation of a multithreaded server
which should only be used with languages that support the creation of
multithreaded applications. It is important that you do not link against
static libraries which were not built with support for threading.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later
versions of the Windows operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is
recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not
an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
