There is only one relevant method Route.Add which associates a route with an action. Other methods are extensions on HttpListenerRequest and HttpListenerResponse classes. Zero configuration.
The snippets below demonstrate the most common functionality. For a demonstration of the all functionalities check the sample.
//rq - request, rp -response, args - arguments
//Route.Add(...) serves "GET" requests by default
//1) serve file (supports video streaming)
Route.Add("/{file}", (rq, rp, args) => rp.AsFile(rq, args["file"]));
//2) return text with a cookie if a path matches a condition
Route.Add((rq, args) => rq.Url.LocalPath.ToLower().EndsWith("helloworld"),
(rq, rp, args) => rp.WithCookie("myCookie", "myContent")
.AsText("Hello world!"));
//3) parse body (fields and files)
Route.Add("/myForm/", (rq, rp, args) =>
{
var files = rq.ParseBody(args);
//save files
foreach (var f in files.Values)
f.Save(f.FileName);
//write form-fields
foreach (var a in args)
Console.WriteLine(a.Key + " " + a.Value);
rp.AsText(String.Empty);
},
"POST");
//run the server
Server.ListenAsync(8000, CancellationToken.None, Route.OnHttpRequestAsync)
.Wait();Remember: Your opinion is important and will define the future roadmap.
