Welcome to W3MFC, a collection of freeware MFC/C++ classes to implement a simple Web server.

The idea behind is W3MFC was originally to learn about the HTTP protocol and how it is implemented on Win32. It is not intended to be a replacement for IIS or Apache. Instead it is designed as a tool for learning or in cases where deployment of a solution on IIS would be considered overkill.

For detailed information about the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol you should read RFC 1945. Another document that these classes refer to is RFC 2045 which defines MIME.

 

The classes which constitute W3MFC are:

CW3MFCServerSettings: This class contains the settings which are used to configure the web server. Example member variables in this class include the virtual directories and the their default filenames. If you are developing a stand alone web server based on W3Mfc, you could for example store all the variables for the CW3MFCServerSettings instance in an ini file or in the registry.

 

CW3MFCServer: This is the actual class which implements the web server. It has a number of very simple functions to allow you to control the state of the web server such as Start and Stop. Internally a background thread is spun off to handle the client connections.

 

CWSocket: This is a simple C++/MFC encapsulation of an SDK socket. A class called CW3MFCSocket is derived for this in the W3MFC web server to provide custom HTTP parsing. The CWSocket class can be using in other projects to provide a simple encapsulation of a socket.

 

CW3MFCResponseHeader: This class helps in the handling of sending request headers when returning the HTTP responses to clients. It provides a number of methods to allow standard HTTP headers to be added to the client response.

 

CW3MFCMimeManager: This class is used when returning client responses. It is used to determine to mime type of a file given its extension type. This information is taken from the registry and is cached in this class. For example files of .htm or .html will normally be of mime type "text/html".

 

CW3MFCRequest: This class represents a request from a client. It contains information such as the URI of the request, the HTTP Verb used and the HTTP version used for the request. A member of this type is stored in the CW3MFCClient class.

 

CW3MFCClient: This class is used in the CW3MFCServer class to handle client connections. It handles the parsing of client requests and returning the appropriate response. A number of virtual functions are provided to allow end user customisation.

 

CW3MFCDirectory: This class is used by the CW3MFCClient class to allow per directory customisation of client connections. A number of virtual functions are provided to allow end user customisation.

 

CThreadPoolServer: This class provides the thread pool functionality. To use it in your code, just derive a class from CThreadPoolClient (as is done for the W3MFC web server) and implement your own specific code in CThreadPoolClient::Run. The CThreadPoolServer class can be used in other projects to provide a simple encapsulation of a thread pool.
