Offline streamer

A simple video streaming service implemented from scratch using c++

HTTP

Transfer encoding used Chunked

Methods

std::vector<char>  chunk::make_chunk(std::string data,int size)

create chunks specified by http standard

Directory Listing

Methods

int create_directory(std::string root_folder)

Recursively iterate through and create a hash map

std::vector<std::string> get_filelist();

Returns the List of all files in the directory

std::string get_file(std::string filename);

Returns the filepath of a specific

Router

Methods

std::map<std::string, std::string> get(std::string path, std::string url);

example

get(" /video/:name/:filetype " , " /video/dance/mp4 ")

returns map
video : dance
filetype : mp4

Serve static files

Methods

int serve_static::servestatic::serve(std::string path, int new_socket)
serve_static::servestatic::servestatic(std::string folder)

example

servestatic server("./public");
server.serve("/index.html",sock_fd);

Handle connection

Methods

 void use(void *object, int (*func)(void *context, std::string response, int new_socket))
int call(std::string response, int new_socket)

Use function works similar to express.js use method

example

 handle_connection::handleconnection routes;
    routes.use(&public_folder, serve_static::servestatic::serve);
    routes.use(&test_folder, serve_static::servestatic::serve);

Handle Connection has a middleware stack

std::vector<std::pair<void *, int (*)(void *, std::string, int)>> funclist;

Middleware can be added using use function The call function execute all the function in middleware stack in sequential order of their addition
