Handlers on GenHTTP Webserver

API Browsing

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.ApiBrowsing Package on NuGet

This module adds JavaScript based applications to visualize an Open API definition such as Swagger UI, Redoc or Scalar to your app. All resources required by those apps are hosted locally so no internet connection is required.

Content

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.IO Package on NuGet

This handler provides the content of a resource such as a file or a text resource to a requesting client. In contrast to a download, the handler does not instruct the client to download and store the file but just serves it.

Directory Browsing

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.DirectoryBrowsing Package on NuGet

The directory listing provider serves a simple web UI allowing users to browse directories and files read from a resource tree below the specified path.

Files

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.Files Package on NuGet

The Files module serves resources to clients, either one at a time with a fixed path or as a whole browsable directory tree. The content type of a file is automatically determined by its extension unless overridden.

Layouting

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.Layouting Package on NuGet

Layouts are a basic mechanism that allows you to assemble your web application from different parts. They define which URLs are made available by the server and what the URL structure of your app will look like.

Liquid Pages

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Kinetq.LiquidPages.GenHTTP Package on NuGet Kinetq.LiquidPages Package on NuGet

This is a third-party integration maintained by Kinetq, not part of the GenHTTP project. Questions and issues regarding the package are best directed at its maintainers.

Load Balancer

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.LoadBalancing Package on NuGet

Allows to distribute incoming requests to multiple nodes, either by using a reverse proxy or by redirecting the client.

Pages

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.Pages Package on NuGet

The pages module allows the server to generate HTML pages (e.g. error messages or the directory listing) and can be used to render custom pages from a template, using Cottle as a rendering engine. Support for rendering websites in GenHTTP is minimalistic, so you should not use this for a website project.

Redirects

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.Redirects Package on NuGet

The redirect provider allows to inform the client that the location of the actual resource is different than the requested URI.

Reverse Proxies

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.ReverseProxy Package on NuGet

The reverse proxy content provider allows to embed content from another web server into your application.

Server Sent Events (SSE)

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.ServerSentEvents Package on NuGet

Server Sent Events (SSE) allow client applications such as browsers to subscribe to a stream of relevant events without the overhead added by the bi-directional connection of websockets. Therefore, they are useful whenever the server would like to notify the client about changes. This article describes how to host an event source in C# using the GenHTTP web server.

Virtual Hosts

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

GenHTTP.Modules.VirtualHosting Package on NuGet

The virtual host handler can be used to deliver different content depending on the host requested by the client. Note, that the handler can be used anywhere in the handler chain, but usually it is most beneficial as the main handler.
