# listener_service

A reusable listener service in C++ which can be injected with arbitrary logic.

## Dependencies

This application depends on the libraries located at:

	https://github.com/TheMarlboroMan/log

	https://github.com/TheMarlboroMan/tools

Be sure to build them first!. If you find yourself having problems, maybe you need earlier versions (actually, I would need to update this).

## Building

Build and install these libraries:

- https://github.com/TheMarlboroMan/log

- https://github.com/TheMarlboroMan/tools

Do the makefile dance.

# Building with SSL

If you are bold enough, you may want to build with SSL in which case you must

activate the WITH_SSL flag in cmake. This will build an extra object and change the behaviour the enable_ssl and has_ssl methods on the server class.

Also, if you are using a current OpenSSL version, make sure to add the WITH_SSL_CURRENT

flag to your cmake, so it tries to use TLS_method().

Finally, if you are building with openssl and want to try the example, make sure

to include the certificate file in the same directory as the example file

with the "cert.pem" filename.

Apropos the source: the open_ssl wrapper object will always exist in code, but

will have different definitions if compiled with or without SSL, so worry not

about that.

# Generating the certificate and key files:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365

If you'd like no passphrase, add "-nodes"

If you are just testing, add -subj '/CN=localhost'
