| This tutorial is for developers who want to learn how they can add HTTP serving |
| capabilities to their applications with the @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} library, |
| abbreviated @emph{MHD}. The reader will learn how to |
| implement basic HTTP functions from simple executable |
| sample programs that implement various features. |
| |
| The text is supposed to be a supplement to the API reference manual of |
| @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} and for that reason does not explain many of the parameters. |
| Therefore, the reader should always consult the manual to find the exact meaning |
| of the functions used in the tutorial. Furthermore, the reader is |
| encouraged to study the relevant @emph{RFCs}, which document the HTTP standard. |
| |
| @emph{GNU libmicrohttpd} is assumed to be already installed. This tutorial |
| is written for version @value{VERSION}. At the time being, |
| this tutorial has only been tested on @emph{GNU/Linux} machines even though |
| efforts were made not to rely on anything that would prevent the samples from being |
| built on similar systems. |
