What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A C++11 single-file header-only HTTP/HTTPS server and client library supporting HTTP/1.1 with SSL/TLS via OpenSSL, MbedTLS, or wolfSSL. It also offers Server-Sent Events and WebSocket support with a simple blocking-socket API.
Use cases
- embed an http server in a c++ application
- make http requests from c++ without heavy dependencies
- add a simple rest api to a native app
- serve https with tls in c++
- single-header http library for c++
When to choose
- you want a drop-in single header with no build system changes
- you need both client and server in one lightweight library
- you only need HTTP/1.1 and blocking I/O is acceptable
When to avoid
- you need HTTP/2 or HTTP/3
- you need non-blocking or asynchronous socket I/O
- you target 32-bit platforms
