1 This tutorial is for developers who want to learn how they can add HTTP serving 2 capabilities to their applications with the @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} library, 3 abbreviated @emph{MHD}. The reader will learn how to 4 implement basic HTTP functions from simple executable 5 sample programs that implement various features. 6 7 The text is supposed to be a supplement to the API reference manual of 8 @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} and for that reason does not explain many of the parameters. 9 Therefore, the reader should always consult the manual to find the exact meaning 10 of the functions used in the tutorial. Furthermore, the reader is 11 encouraged to study the relevant @emph{RFCs}, which document the HTTP standard. 12 13 @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} is assumed to be already installed. This tutorial 14 is written for version @value{VERSION}. At the time being, 15 this tutorial has only been tested on @emph{GNU/Linux} machines even though 16 efforts were made not to rely on anything that would prevent the samples from being 17 built on similar systems. 18 19 @section History 20 21 This tutorial was originally written by Sebastian Gerhardt for MHD 22 0.4.0. It was slighly polished and updated to MHD 0.9.0 by Christian 23 Grothoff.
