It is based on the multi-threading capabilities of SWI-Prolog and thus exploits multiple cores to serve requests concurrently. The server scales well and can cooperate with library(thread_pool) to control the number of concurrent requests of a given type. For example, it can be configured to handle 200 file download requests concurrently, 2 requests that potentially uses a lot of memory and 8 requests that use a lot of CPU resources. On Unix systems, this library can be combined with library(http/http_unix_daemon) to realise a proper Unix service process that creates a web server at port 80, runs under a specific account, optionally detaches from the controlling terminal, etc. Combined with library(http/http_ssl_plugin) from the SSL package, this library can be used to create an HTTPS server. See /doc/packages/examples/ssl/https for an example server using a self-signed SSL certificate. */ :- meta_predicate http_server(1, :), http_current_server(1, ?), http_spawn(0, +). :- dynamic current_server/6, % Port, Goal, Thread, Queue, Scheme, StartTime queue_worker/2, % Queue, ThreadID queue_options/2. % Queue, Options :- multifile make_socket_hook/3, accept_hook/2, close_hook/1, open_client_hook/6, http:create_pool/1, http:schedule_workers/1. %! http_server(:Goal, :Options) is det. % % Create a server at Port that calls Goal for each parsed request. % Options provide a list of options.
