Re: https server using openssl
Hi, Thanks for detailed information , since I am not very comfortable with c/c++ , it is bit difficulty for me to design and implement a webserver . Is there simple open source webserver (which uses the boost lib and has the option to include my modified openssl libs) for android ndk level ..? Pls provide some good links . rgds Indra On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 2:54 PM, Ted Byers r.ted.by...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 1:47 PM, Indtiny s indt...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Thanks for the information , actually I need to write simple webserver for the android (in the ndk level for some requirement) .

Bear in mind the caveats on that page. The code is ancient. Look for copyright information - who owns the copy right for that page/code, and what license did they apply. The anwsers you want, regarding permission to use it are in that documentation, if it exists. If the code is correctly perceived to be open source, then you can do what you like with it. But, even if you can, that is not the same thing as you should. Remember, the age of that code. Revising it may be more trouble than it is worth. incase if it is not good to use the above approach , then is boost library available for android to use the Mr.Ted approach ..? The boost library is a C++ library, and thus an be used on any platform for which there is a standards compliant C++ compiler. Therefore, if you have a C++ compiler for Android, then you can use boost libraries. The short answer, is yes, there is a C++ compiler on Android and thus you can use boost. BTW: The boost asio library does use openssl for it's security functionality. Therefore, it ought to be very easy for you to extend to include your new cipher, or anything else that you may want.

Rgds Indra I don't know how or if Boost's asio library interacts with openssl, but if you want to develop your own server, you probably ought to begin with Boost's asio library. If I where going to write my own server, that is what I would do (if I were writing it in C++ rather than Perl). http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html The site you referenced provides an example that is over a decade old. The link I provide above it this year, with current examples for both http servers and clients with and without using SSL. Being a Boost C++ library, it provides a solid base on which to build. The license basically lets you use all that code for whatever purpose you wish. And, I am sure, once yu have studied it, and openssl, you'll be able to extend it to use openssl if it does not presently use it, to add capabilities that openssl provides that are not presently available in asio (provided you have a good grasp of C++ templates and inheritance).

Re: https server using openssl
Hi. I think that you should write simple HTTP server first and add SSL support to it afterwards.

Can somebody help me to develop simple openssl based webserver .. I just need to support the POST operation at my server side i.e , in my requirement , client will post the data to web server , here server should receive the data and provide the HTTP response as 201 to client .
