一个非阻塞的 Poco HTTP 服务器？

Question

In Poco's documentation ( https://pocoproject.org/docs/Poco.Util.ServerApplication.html ) there is:

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    MyServerApplication app;
    return app.run(argc, argv);
}

This would imply a standalone, blocking server application. However, my use case is that I'd like to integrate a HTTP server to my already existing C++ application and it should not block the rest of the application. Can I somehow just start the Poco server in its own thread?

Answer 1

A ServerApplication is meant to be its own Application since it inherits from Application . This means it has its own main.

So it depends on what you want to do in your ServerApplication .

If you want something else to be the main function, don't use ServerApplication . But if you want the benefits of option parsing and portable code, use ServerApplication and have it spawn your other code via a thread similar to SampleServer .

I hope this helps.

EDIT

See HttpTimeServerApp

It has an example Application that contains an HTTPServer . Maybe you just want an HTTPServer to start in your existing app.
