# Scala 3 Native ❤️ libmicrohttpd 

I recently discovered there's a relatively small HTTP server library

called microhttpd by the GNU project: https://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/manual/html_node/index.html

This small project contains:

- `microhttpd.bindings.scala` - Microhttpd bindings generated by [sn-bindgen](https://sn-bindgen.indoorvivants.com/quickstart/index.html), my binding generator 

- `run.server.scala` - the logic to run a simple web server that responds with JSON

- `DangerZone.scala` - absolutely horrific experiment in memory management to 

circumvent combined limitations of Zone from Scala Native and C's function pointers. I'm pursuing a life long goal to have a CVE named after me.

## Running

This is a [Scala CLI](https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/) project.

Personally, I run it using my [sn-vcpkg](https://github.com/indoorvivants/sn-vcpkg#scala-cli) project to avoid messing with flags by hand:

```

cs launch com.indoorvivants.vcpkg:sn-vcpkg_3:latest.release -- \

   scala-cli libmicrohttpd -- run .

```

But if you know what you're doing, "just" install "libmicrohttpd" and adjust the linking flags required to run it:

```

scala-cli run . --native-linking -lmicrohttpd

```
