This directory provides the SWI-Prolog libraries for accessing and providing HTTP services.
The main client library is library(http/http_open), which can open
both HTTP and HTTPS connections and handle all request methods.
The main server libraris are
library(http/thread_httpd) implements the serverlibrary(http/http_dispatch) implements binding locations
predicateslibrary(http/http_unix_daemon) implements integration in various
Unix server managers and in general provides a suitable entry point
for HTTP servers on Unix.library(http/html_write) implements generating HTMLlibrary(http/http_json) implements reading and writing JSON documents.
For simplicity, you can use library(http/http_server), which
combines the typical HTTP libraries that most servers need. The
idea of a common request handling system and three controlling
libraries is outdated; the threaded server now being the only sensible
controlling library.
This library uses functionality from the ssl package to support HTTPS,
the sgml package to read XML/HTML and the clib package for various
extensions.
