Hi Everyone, advanced apologies for the cross-post. To those interested and watching the cpp-netlib project's progress, this afternoon Philippine time I just packaged and released the latest installment of the cpp-netlib project. Release 0.8 features: * An asynchronous HTTP server template, supporting asynchronous handler invocation and asynchronous writing to the established HTTP connection on the handler side. An example of one use for this is included in the library which implements a simple static web server, benchmarked with Apache AB on a dual core Intel Core 2 CPU with 2GB RAM to be able to serve a 10kb file at 4700 requests per second on 64-bit Linux 2.6.36. You can find out more about the example here: http://goo.gl/5mVuY * More in-depth documentation covering the HTTP Client and Server APIs, now hosted online as well. Read the documentation at http://cpp-netlib.github.com/0.8/ * A simple thread pool implementation that uses Boost.Asio underneath, with a simple API for posting nullary function objects as tasks. The number of threads to run is configurable as a constructor parameter -- this is especially required by the asynchronous HTTP server template, where handlers are queued to be executed. The library is released under the Boost Software License, and is being developed for future submission to the Boost C++ Library. You can download the latest and previous releases from http://github.com/cpp-netlib/cpp-netlib/downloads. Have a great day everyone and I look forward to your very valuable feedback! -- Dean Michael Berris deanberris.com
