Multithreading Web Server Based on Boost Asio.

Description

Multithreading Web Server Based on Boost Asio.

  1. The server is composed of Web service module, log module, cache module and XML configuration module.
  2. Support HTTP, HTTPS protocol. In HTTPS protocol data stream was encrypted by asio::ssl::context object.
  3. Support static HTML page, GET/POST method. Server can be easily extended horizontally to support the new request method.
  4. There are three server cache strategy available. No cache, Server Memory Cache and Redis Cache. Server memory cache replacement policy is LRU algorithm. In most scenario, using redis cache will obtain better parallel efficiency.
  5. Log system supports log rotation, set the maximum log space, timing rotation, filters and other functions.
  6. All the configurations should write to WebConfig.xml

OS

Ubuntu 14.04 or higher

Complier

G++5 or higher

Library dependencies

All the lib below should be added to CMakeLists.txt

boost_system ssl crypto pthread boost_log boost_thread boost_log_setup

My boost lib version is 1.63.0, so boost 1.63.0 or higher is recommended. For more infromation, See Boost 1_63_0 doc.

It is strongly recommended to compile the program and your Boost library with the same compiler on your computer to prevent errors while linking the Dynamic-Link librarys.

Make

cd web-server
cmake CMakeLists.txt
make

 

Configurations

All the configuration is written in the file 'WebConfig.xml' and placed in the same directory as the build file. 'WebConfig.xml.sample' is a sample configuration, please follow the comments to complete your config.

IP black list will be supported soon.

Run

Run the executable file 'web-server'

./web-server is your executable file. ./web/ is your default web root directory(you can set it in the config file). You must ensure that there is an index.html file as your home page in the Web root directory, otherwise the server will return a 404 page

Run as a HTTP/HTTPS server:

nohup ./web_server &

Load Test

Run the server in redis cache model. Server hardware: Alibaba Cloud Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2682 v4 @ 2.50GHz 4G RAM   simulating 3000 client click website concurrently per second.     The testing results illustrated as fllows.

results   Server cpu load has been around 20 percent.
