The Poll Event Loop sample demonstrates how
to add HTTP server functionality to your C application and use a polled
event loop to wait for I/O events. AppWeb offers several methods to
wait for events. See the Programming Paradigms document for further information.
The sample is a
single-threaded main program that listens on port 8888 for HTTP requests. See also
the equivalent C pollEventLoop sample.
Files
pollEventLoop.conf
Makefile
pollEventLoop.cpp
Configuration File
pollEventLoop.conf
DocumentRoot "." Listen 8888 ThreadLimit 0 AddHandler copyHandler
This file is an AppWeb configuration file.
It is configured to run single-threaded and assumes that
the sample is being run from the current directory.
You should modify the DocumentRoot and Listen directives
to suit your application's needs.
Makefile
The Makefile will build on Windows or Linux. A Windows VS 6.0
project file is also supplied.
Typical output from the Makefile build is listed below. This is
the output on a Windows system:
cl -o pollEventLoop.exe pollEventLoop.cpp -Zi -Od -D_NDEBUG -W3 -nologo -MDd -FD -DWIN -D_DLL -D_MT \
-D_WINDOWS -DWIN32 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x500 -D_X86_=1 -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -D_USRDLL \
