 The **WSF_REQUEST** gives access to the incoming data; the class provides features to get information such as request method, form data, query parameters, uploaded files, HTTP request headers, and hostname of the client among others. 

 The **WSF_RESPONSE** provides features to define the response with information such as HTTP status codes (10x,20x, 30x, 40x, and 50x), response headers (Content-Type, Content-Length, etc.) and obviously the body of the message itself.

+## The EiffelWeb standalone connector
+
+It provides a standalone httpd server for the EiffelWeb framework.
+It implements HTTP/1.1 with persistent connection, concurrent connection, ...
+
+To easily set the standalone connector, see class `WSF_STANDALONE_SERVICE_OPTIONS`.
+
+### Main settings:
+
+* `port`: Listening port number (defaut: 80).
+* `max_concurrent_connections`: maximum of concurrent connections (default: 100)
+* `max_tcp_clients`: Listen on socket for at most `max_tcp_clients` connections (default: 100)
+* `socket_timeout`: Amount of seconds the server waits for receipts and transmissions during communications. With timeout of 0, socket can wait for ever. (default: 60)
+* `socket_recv_timeout`: Amount of seconds the server waits for receiving data during communications. With timeout of 0, socket can waits for ever. (default: 5)
+* `keep_alive_timeout`: Persistent connection timeout. Number of seconds the server waits after a request has been served before it closes the connection (default: 5)
+* `max_keep_alive_requests`: Maximum number of requests allowed per persistent connection. To disable KeepAlive, set `max_keep_alive_requests` to `0`. To have no limit, set `max_keep_alive_requests` to `-1` (default: 300).
+
+* `is_secure`: check SSL certificate?
+* `secure_certificate`: path to SSL certificate.
+* `secure_certificate_key`: certificate key
+
+* `verbose`: display verbose output (Default: false)
+
+See also `WGI_STANDALONE_CONSTANTS` for default values.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Jocelyn Fiat	a0c1ab5232	updated simple.ini settings.	2017-10-19 11:20:14 +02:00
Jocelyn Fiat	db39068ceb	Updated documentation for standalone connector. Changed `default_max_keep_alive_requests` from 100 to 300.	2017-10-19 00:14:23 +02:00
Jocelyn Fiat	a1b4337438	Set keep_alive_timeout to 2, this way for single threaded case, browser does not wait too much to start the websocket connection. Set max_keep_alive_requests to -1, to allow unlimited number of requests within a same websocket connection.	2017-10-18 23:41:03 +02:00
Jocelyn Fiat	74121be470	Support persistent connection, even in single thread mode (i.e concurrency=none). Warning: as there is no concurrent request handling in single threaded mode, it is recommended to either set the keep_alive_timeout to a small value, or disable persistent connection by setting max_keep_alive_requests to 0. Change the default keep_alive_timeout from 15 to 5 seconds. Accept -1 as value of max_keep_alive_requests to have unlimited number of request in the same persistent connection.	2017-10-18 23:29:16 +02:00
