Write HTTP Server for API

Hi guys,

I've done a simple exe based on the example and ran it as a CGI In IIS. This works.

However, I'm trying to see if I can do a HTTP POST to it instead of just a GET. Or for that matter, other http requests type.

Here's the example I'm using.

Code: Select all

If Not InitCGI() Or Not ReadCGI() 
  End
EndIf

WriteCGIHeader(#PB_CGI_HeaderContentType, "text/html", #PB_CGI_LastHeader) ; Write the headers to inform the browser of the content format

WriteCGIString("<html><title>PureBasic CGI</title><body>Test</body></html>")

What I'm trying to do is just have a HTTP Server running and then actioning stuff based on the paths provided. Much like gorilla/mux in golang.

Sorry, but your code has nothing to do with a http server.

Today an API is mots a REST-API which don't use CGI.It uses normal GET,POST, PUT ... requests.
Look at the atomic server in Examples/Sources - Advanced'

In general you need a network server which processes the requests.
