This code is mainly copied from kiwix-tools.
But :
- Move all the response thing in a new class Response.
- This Response class is responsible to handle all the MHD_response
configuration. This way the server handle a global object and do
no call to MHD_response*
- Server uses a lot more the templating system with mustache.
There are still few regex operations (because we need to
change a content already existing).
- By default, the server serves the content using the id as name.
- Server creates a new Searcher per request. This way, we don't have
to protect the search for multi-thread and we can do several search
in the same time.
- search results are not cached, this will allow future improvement in the
search algorithm.
- the home page is not cached.
- Few more verbose information (number of request served, time spend to
respond to a request).
TOOD:
- Readd interface selection.
- Do Android wrapper.
- Remove KiwixServer (who use a external process).
-
Mustache templating system is a bit simpler than ctpp2 and ctpp2 is no
more maintained (see #189).
We are moving to the kainjow's Mustache project
(https://github.com/kainjow/Mustache).
It simplify a lot our system has it is header only and we don't have to
precompile the template.
Fix#21
This feature is considered obsolete for a while.
In fact, it was already not supported since June 2018 as we were compiling
xapian without the chert backend support.
Assume that we don't support it and remove it from the code.
See kiwix/kiwix-tools#245
This is a API break. library.xml files will still work but the indexPath
and indexType will be dropped silently from the file.
- "winsock2.h" needs to be included before "windows.h". But if a
compilation unit include "windows.h" and after "networkTools.h", we
fails and it is complicated to handle. The include must not be in the
header but in the cpp
- windows define some ERROR macro. It is a pitty but we cannot use `ERROR`
in our enum.
- If build statically using mingw we need to define `CURL_STATICLIB`
The downloader is using libaria2.
For now, only one download can be run a the time.
A download will start only if (and as soon as) no download is running.
