WCHTTPServer

What is WCHTTPServer

WCHTTPServer is an HTTP/2 + HTTP 1.1 + WebSocket server written in Free Pascal.

The project builds on the fcl-web library and extends it to increase functionality:

• Client management using cookies (saving and maintaining sessions).
• Saving information about clients and sessions in SQLite database.
• Saving information about the latest requests and saving logs in SQLite database.
• Multithreading preparation and execution of requests based on thread pools e.g. helpful classes to work with EventSources.
• Client rankings based on the frequency of client requests.
• Built-in support for gzip and deflate compression methods including decompression of client-side requests.
• WebSocket protocol supported.
• Ability to start the server both in HTTP/2 mode and in HTTP 1.1 mode.
• Modified OpenSSL modules (added necessary TLS extensions) in order to create and maintain HTTP/2 connections.
• Added the ability to save the master key and a random set of client data on the server-side (necessary for debugging TLS dumps using WireShark).
• Works under both Windows and Linux.
