Detailed Description

Class representing a server that supports HTTP and WebSocket requests.

Server capacity is limited and is intended to handle only a small number of simultaneous connections (e.g. for communicating between applications on localhost). The methods of this class are safe to call from any thread in the brower process unless otherwise indicated.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ HeaderMap

typedef std::multimap<CefString, CefString> CefServer::HeaderMap

Member Function Documentation

◆ CloseConnection()

virtual void CefServer::CloseConnection ( int  connection_id)
pure virtual

Close the connection identified by |connection_id|.

See SendHttpResponse documentation for intended usage.

◆ CreateServer()

static void CefServer::CreateServer ( const CefString address,
uint16_t  port,
int  backlog,
CefRefPtr< CefServerHandler handler 
)
static

Create a new server that binds to |address| and |port|.

|address| must be a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address (e.g. 127.0.0.1 or ::1) and |port| must be a port number outside of the reserved range (e.g. between 1025 and 65535 on most platforms). |backlog| is the maximum number of pending connections. A new thread will be created for each CreateServer call (the "dedicated server thread"). It is therefore recommended to use a different CefServerHandler instance for each CreateServer call to avoid thread safety issues in the CefServerHandler implementation. The CefServerHandler::OnServerCreated method will be called on the dedicated server thread to report success or failure. See CefServerHandler::OnServerCreated documentation for a description of server lifespan.

◆ GetAddress()

virtual CefString CefServer::GetAddress ( )
pure virtual

Returns the server address including the port number.

◆ GetTaskRunner()

virtual CefRefPtr<CefTaskRunner> CefServer::GetTaskRunner ( )
pure virtual

Returns the task runner for the dedicated server thread.

◆ HasConnection()

virtual bool CefServer::HasConnection ( )
pure virtual

Returns true if the server currently has a connection.

This method must be called on the dedicated server thread.

◆ IsRunning()

virtual bool CefServer::IsRunning ( )
pure virtual

Returns true if the server is currently running and accepting incoming connections.

See CefServerHandler::OnServerCreated documentation for a description of server lifespan. This method must be called on the dedicated server thread.

◆ IsValidConnection()

virtual bool CefServer::IsValidConnection ( int  connection_id)
pure virtual

Returns true if |connection_id| represents a valid connection.

This method must be called on the dedicated server thread.

◆ SendHttp200Response()

virtual void CefServer::SendHttp200Response ( int  connection_id,
const CefString content_type,
const void *  data,
size_t  data_size 
)
pure virtual

Send an HTTP 200 "OK" response to the connection identified by |connection_id|.

|content_type| is the response content type (e.g. "text/html"), |data| is the response content, and |data_size| is the size of |data| in bytes. The contents of |data| will be copied. The connection will be closed automatically after the response is sent.

◆ SendHttp404Response()

virtual void CefServer::SendHttp404Response ( int  connection_id)
pure virtual

Send an HTTP 404 "Not Found" response to the connection identified by |connection_id|.

The connection will be closed automatically after the response is sent.

◆ SendHttp500Response()

virtual void CefServer::SendHttp500Response ( int  connection_id,
const CefString error_message 
)
pure virtual

Send an HTTP 500 "Internal Server Error" response to the connection identified by |connection_id|.

|error_message| is the associated error message. The connection will be closed automatically after the response is sent.

◆ SendHttpResponse()

virtual void CefServer::SendHttpResponse ( int  connection_id,
int  response_code,
const CefString content_type,
int64_t  content_length,
const HeaderMap extra_headers 
)
pure virtual

Send a custom HTTP response to the connection identified by |connection_id|.

|response_code| is the HTTP response code sent in the status line (e.g. 200), |content_type| is the response content type sent as the "Content-Type" header (e.g. "text/html"), |content_length| is the expected content length, and |extra_headers| is the map of extra response headers. If |content_length| is >= 0 then the "Content-Length" header will be sent. If |content_length| is 0 then no content is expected and the connection will be closed automatically after the response is sent. If |content_length| is < 0 then no "Content-Length" header will be sent and the client will continue reading until the connection is closed. Use the SendRawData method to send the content, if applicable, and call CloseConnection after all content has been sent.

◆ SendRawData()

virtual void CefServer::SendRawData ( int  connection_id,
const void *  data,
size_t  data_size 
)
pure virtual

Send raw data directly to the connection identified by |connection_id|.

|data| is the raw data and |data_size| is the size of |data| in bytes. The contents of |data| will be copied. No validation of |data| is performed internally so the client should be careful to send the amount indicated by the "Content-Length" header, if specified. See SendHttpResponse documentation for intended usage.

◆ SendWebSocketMessage()

virtual void CefServer::SendWebSocketMessage ( int  connection_id,
const void *  data,
size_t  data_size 
)
pure virtual

Send a WebSocket message to the connection identified by |connection_id|.

|data| is the response content and |data_size| is the size of |data| in bytes. The contents of |data| will be copied. See CefServerHandler::OnWebSocketRequest documentation for intended usage.

◆ Shutdown()

virtual void CefServer::Shutdown ( )
pure virtual

Stop the server and shut down the dedicated server thread.

See CefServerHandler::OnServerCreated documentation for a description of server lifespan.
