Fix Http Headers are not properly received if the two characters of
a line-break (\r\n) were not received together in the same ethernet
package.
1.7.10
04.12.2019
Add support for other SSL implementations than OpenSSL (as far Qt supports it).
Fix log bufffer was triggered only by severities above minLevel (should be "at least" minLevel).

bufferSize>0 and minLevel>0.
QtWebApp HTTP Server in C++
QtWepApp is a HTTP server library in C++, inspired by Java Servlets. For Linux, Windows, Mac OS and many other operating systems that the Qt Framework supports.
QtWebApp contains the following components:
- HTTP(S) Server
- Template Engine
- File Logger
The logger improves disk space and performance by retaining debug messages in memory until an error occurs. No debug messages are written as long everything works fine. Changes to the configuration of the logger become active automatically without program restart. A very small example:
// The request handler receives and responds HTTP requests
void MyRequestHandler::service(HttpRequest& request, HttpResponse& response)
{
// Get a request parameters
QByteArray username=request.getParameter("username");
// Set a response header
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=UTF-8");
// Generate the HTML document
response.write("<html><body>");
response.write("Hello ");
response.write(username);
response.write("</body></html>");
}
// The main program starts the HTTP server
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication app(argc,argv);
new HttpListener(
new QSettings("configfile.ini",QSettings::IniFormat,&app),
new MyRequestHandler(&app),
&app);
return app.exec();
}
The small memory requirement of about 2MB qualifies the web server to be used in embedded systems. For example for the Beer brewing machine of Sebastian Düll. But it's also powerful enough for larger web services.
