#ifndef HTTPCONNECTIONHANDLERPOOL_H #define HTTPCONNECTIONHANDLERPOOL_H #include #include #include #include #include "httpglobal.h" #include "httpconnectionhandler.h" namespace stefanfrings { /** Pool of http connection handlers. The size of the pool grows and shrinks on demand.

Example for the required configuration settings:

  readTimeout=60000
  maxRequestSize=16000
  maxMultiPartSize=1000000

  minThreads=4
  maxThreads=100
  cleanupInterval=60000  
  

The readTimeout value defines the maximum time to wait for a complete HTTP request.

MaxRequestSize is the maximum size of a HTTP request. In case of multipart/form-data requests (also known as file-upload), the maximum size of the body must not exceed maxMultiPartSize.

After server start, the size of the thread pool is always 0. Threads are started on demand when requests come in. The cleanup timer reduces the number of idle threads slowly by closing one thread in each interval. But the configured minimum number of threads are kept running.

Additional settings for SSL (HTTPS):

  sslKeyFile=ssl/server.key
  sslCertFile=ssl/server.crt
  ;caCertFile=ssl/ca.crt
  verifyPeer=false
  
For SSL support, you need at least a pair of OpenSSL x509 certificate and an RSA key, both files in PEM format. To enable verification of the peer (the calling web browser), you can either use the central certificate store of the operating system, or provide a CA certificate file in PEM format. The certificates of the peers must have been derived from the CA certificate.

Example commands to create these files:

  # Generate CA key
  openssl genrsa 2048 > ca.key

  # Generate CA certificate
  openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 365000 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

  # Generate a server key and certificate request
  openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 365000 -keyout server.key -out server.req

  # Generate a signed server certificate
  openssl x509 -req -days 365000 -set_serial 01 -in server.req -out server.crt -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key

  # Generate a client key and certificate request
  openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 365000 -keyout client.key -out client.req

  # Generate a signed client certificate
  openssl x509 -req -days 365000 -set_serial 01 -in client.req -out client.crt  -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key

  # Combine client key and certificate into one PKCS12 file
  openssl pkcs12 -export -in client.crt -inkey client.key -out client.p12 -certfile ca.crt

  # Remove temporary files
  rm *.req
  

Please note that a listener with SSL can only handle HTTPS protocol. To support both HTTP and HTTPS simultaneously, you need to start two listeners on different ports one with SLL and one without SSL (usually on public ports 80 and 443, or locally on 8080 and 8443). */ class DECLSPEC HttpConnectionHandlerPool : public QObject { Q_OBJECT Q_DISABLE_COPY(HttpConnectionHandlerPool) public: /** Constructor. @param settings Configuration settings for the HTTP server.
