Spdylay - SPDY C Library
========================

This is an experimental implementation of Google's SPDY protocol
version 2 in C.

The current status of development is in a beta stage now. As described
below, we can create SPDY client and server with the current Spdylay
API.

Build from git
--------------

Building from git is easy, but please be sure that at least autoconf 2.68 is
used.::

    $ autoreconf -i
    $ automake
    $ autoconf
    $ ./configure
    $ make

Examples
--------

*examples* directory contains SPDY client and server implementation
using Spdylay. These programs are intended to make sure that Spdylay
API is acutally usable for real implementation and also for debugging
purposes. Please note that OpenSSL with `NPN
<http://technotes.googlecode.com/git/nextprotoneg.html>`_ support is
required in order to build and run these programs.  At the time of
this writing, the Beta 2 of OpenSSL 1.0.1 supports NPN.

SPDY client is called ``spdycat``. It is a dead simple downloader like
wget/curl. It connects to SPDY server and gets resources given in the
command-line::

    $ ./spdycat -vn https://www.google.com/

SPDY server is called ``spdyd``. It is a non-blocking server and only
serves static contents. It only speaks ``spdy/2``::

    $ ./spdyd --htdocs=/your/htdocs/ -v 3000 server.key server.crt

Currently, ``spdyd`` needs ``epoll`` or ``kqueue``.

There is another SPDY server called ``spdynative``, which is
`node.native <https://github.com/d5/node.native>`_ style simple SPDY
server::

    #include <iostream>

    #include "spdy.h"

    int main()
    {
      spdy server;
      if(!server.listen("localhost", 8080, "server.key", "server.crt",
                        [](request& req, response& res) {
                          res.set_status(200);
                          res.set_header("content-type", "text/plain");
                          res.end("C++ FTW\n");
                        }))
        return EXIT_FAILURE;

      std::cout << "Server running at http://localhost:8080/" << std::endl;
      return reactor::run(server);
    }

Don't expect much from ``spdynative``. It is just an example and does
not support asynchronous I/O at all.
