GSP Objects

GSP Objects is a library to provide jsp like object infrastructure for c++ web programs to be run on different oses under different servers

Radoslav Paskalev.

• Classes available :
  • HttpRequest - methods to get request information
  • HttpResponse - methods to set response information
  • GspWriter - ostream output class
  • Cookie - a cookie
  • URLCoder - static methods to encode/decode strings
• OSes :
  • u*nux (gcc)
  • Win32 (vc6,dmc,cygwin and mingw)
• Web servers :
  • Apache
  • IIS

• Session handling
• More oses(bsd,!suggestions!)
• More protocols (nsapi,apache plugin,!suggestions!)
• More servers (!suggestions!)
• Don't know yet, you'll tell me.

In order to use the library, you must :

• Create your project,write your gsp file with language="c++ ext" or "c++ extended", run gsp preprocessor against it
• Set include path to include
• Set library path to lib
• Define ISAPI or CGI
  • If using isapi must add to your project lib\isapi.def
• And link with desired library

Please see the examples provided in zip file distribution.

Under windows supported compilers are:

• Microsoft Visual C++
• Digital Mars C/C++ Compiler (www.digitalmars.com)
• cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/)
• mingw (http://www.mingw.org)

Under linux i tested only gcc

For every compiler there is a makefile which builds both isapi and cgi libraries so to build them you must type "<make> -f makefile.<cmp>" where: <make> is the compiler make tool and <cmp> is the extension for this compiler

Under linux there is only one makefile called "makefile". It builds only cgi(as i know apache supports isapi only under win32).

Compiler notes:

• dmc:You have to use at least version 8.20 of the compiler and smake.exe tool which is separate downloadable
• vc: Please take a look at what thread option is used(single threaded,multithreaded...) because you have to use it next in your application

gspobjects-src-0.02.zip

Maintenance release.A lot of internal changes and optimizations, mainly to reduce size of library.

• Now uses strstream classes instead of stringstream(can be compiled with older versions of gcc)
• Under windows added support for Digital Mars Compiler,mingw and cygwin
• Added some examples
• Fixed bug in URLDecoder::decode

gspobjects-src-0.01.zip

First release, provides classes HttpRequest, HttpResponse, GspWriter, Cookie, URLCoder.

Compiles on Win32 (vc6) and may compile on most systems with recent gcc (ostringstream, i.e. sstream lib, must be available)
