HTTP/0.9 File Serving Example

The examples in this directory were copied from quinn and modified to use BoringSSL.

The server and client examples demonstrate fetching files using a HTTP-like toy protocol.

  1. Server (server.rs)

The server listens for any client requesting a file. If the file path is valid and allowed, it returns the contents.

Open up a terminal and execute:

$ cargo run --example server ./
  1. Client (client.rs)

The client requests a file and prints it to the console. If the file is on the server, it will receive the response.

In a new terminal execute:

$ cargo run --example client https://localhost:4433/Cargo.toml

where Cargo.toml is any file in the directory passed to the server.

Result:

The output will be the contents of this README.

Troubleshooting:

If the client times out with no activity on the server, try forcing the server to run on IPv4 by running it with cargo run --example server -- ./ --listen 127.0.0.1:4433. The server listens on IPv6 by default, localhost tends to resolve to IPv4, and support for accepting IPv4 packets on IPv6 sockets varies between platforms.

If the client prints failed to process request: failed reading file, the request was processed successfully but the path segment of the URL did not correspond to a file in the directory being served.
