# README
### Brief
A simple HTTP/2 cleartext server made with C++. The purpose of this project is to help myself learn more about the web, its HTTP protocol, and review C++. I do not intend this to be production ready at all and this will take some time to get working.
### WIP Screenshots
### Notes
- Only works on Unix-y systems because of the GNU Makefile.
- Create the bin and build folder at the project root for the build to work.
- Files in mains with names such as `test_*` are the unit tests.
### Todos
1. ~~Make special collections: BitArray, Prefix BT~~
2. ~~HPACK Huffman encoder & decoder.~~
3. ~~HPACK header indexing table (static, dynamic).~~
4. ~~HPACK string and integer encoder & decoder.~~
5. Make HPACK context class.
- Make unit tests with mock headers. See RFC 7541 5.2 for how the Huffman flag is put by the string length.
6. Make HTTP/2 streams and other utils.
- Make `Http2Stream`.
- Consider stream priority tree and algorithm...
- Make HTTP/2 `FrameScanner` and `FrameWriter`.
- Make `Http2Connection`.
7. Create server workers.
8. Create server driver.
9. Put together thread pool implementation.
10. Finish up driver class of server.
11. Test with cURL.
### Other Notes:
- Probably install and use the `s2n` SSL library because openssl is verbose.
