microasynchttpserver

microasynchttpserver is a thin asynchronous HTTP server library for Nim. It is API-compatible with Nim's built-in asynchttpserver, and allows programs greater control over the HTTP connection than asynchttpserver does.

Features

• Production-ready
• Uses nim-picohttpparser for HTTP header parsing
• Acts as a thin HTTP server library
  • Only parses HTTP method, protocol version, URL, and headers
  • Everything else is up to the application

Usage

microasynchttpserver is mostly API compatible with asynchttpserver. Use the newMicroAsyncHttpServer proc to instantiate a MicroAsyncHttpServer, and use it just like an AsyncHttpServer.

MicroAsyncHttpServer will only fill in the client, reqMethod, headers, protocol, url, and hostname fields of Request objects. HTTP request bodies/data must be handled by your application, and read directly from the client socket.

As a convenience, you can use the readBody proc provided by this library to read the entire request body to memory. Note that this will not set the Request object's body field; it will only return the body that was read.
