BOZOHTTPD(3lua)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to BOZOHTTPD(3lua) — the page that lives in the LOCAL manual. The star is bozohttpd — it provides access to libbozohttpd(3) functionality from Lua. That's the whole cutie premise. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Use this exact code, no freestyling:

local bozo = require 'bozohttpd'

instance = bozo.new()
bozo.init_httpd(instance)
prefs = bozo.init_prefs()
bozo.set_pref(instance, prefs, name, value)
bozo.get_pref(prefs, name)
bozo.setup(instance, prefs, host, root)
bozo.dynamic_mime(instance, one, two, three, four)
bozo.ssl_set_opts(instance, one, two)
bozo.cgi_setbin(instance, bin)
bozo.cgi_map(instance, 1, 2)
req = bozo.read_request(instance)
bozo.process_request(req)
bozo.clean_request(req)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The bozohttpd Lua binding hands you the functionality available in libbozohttpd(3). Simple as that, no cap. 🎀

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

This example code demonstrates the process of instantiating an instance of bozohttpd as a background daemon. The instance is set to serve files from /var/www for the hostname www.example.com on TCP port 8080. Iconic behavior, fr fr:

local bozo = require 'bozohttpd'
myhttpd = bozo.new()
bozo.init_httpd(myhttpd)
prefs = bozo.init_prefs()
bozo.set_pref(myhttpd, prefs, "port number", "8080")
bozo.set_pref(myhttpd, prefs, "background", 1)
bozo.setup(myhttpd, prefs, "www.example.com", "/var/www")
req = bozo.read_request(myhttpd)
bozo.process_request(req)
bozo.clean_request(req)
