- the standalone connector support for SSL, is using certicate files for now (no in-memory support).
- to enable ssl support, set ecf variable `httpd_ssl_enabled=true`.
- added the `simple_ssl` example to demonstrate how to have standalone ssl server.
(be careful when using EiffelNet SSL and the http_client library, disable the libcurl
via ecf variable `libcurl_http_client_disabled=true` )
Added support for recv timeout to the EiffelWeb standalone connector.
- made EiffelWeb compilable with 16.05 and upcoming 16.11.
Done via ecfs condition on version to accept EiffelNet with recv_timeout (from 16.11), and without (until 16.05).
- adding recv timeout prevents server to hang for ever if a client wait too long to send data.
Updated various comments.
Eiffel Web Server Gateway Interface
Overview
The main goal of this library is to provide a common layer on top of many different connectors. A connector is a library used for the integration of Eiffel web server application with an underlying httpd server technology such as CGI, libFCGI, or even standalone Eiffel Web Nino (which is a httpd server written in Eiffel).
Then one can build an Eiffel web service compliant with EWSGI specification, and thus with the same code (or almost), this could be compiled to run on any available connectors.
