Plugin development in Lighttpd

Question

I am using the Lighttpd web server and I am absolutely new to it. I was able to install and run on CentOS 6.2. Now I want to create a plugin for lighttpd using Cpp, but I could not find a useful tutorial at all and was completely confused. Can someone help me with clear information?

Answer 1

You will not write a plugin in C ++, you will use direct C. There are no tutorials in the sense of creating a Hello World application, but there is documentation. http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki#Developing-Information is the place to start. Read the links there in order, especially http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/HowToWriteALighttpdPlugin and mod_skeleton.c in the lighttpd source.

Once you have this, you only need to start the experiment!
