# The HTTP Server
|
|
|
|
The [**HttpServer**](../../actix-web/actix_web/server/struct.HttpServer.html) type is responsible for
|
|
serving http requests.
|
|
|
|
`HttpServer` accepts an application factory as a parameter, and the
|
|
application factory must have `Send` + `Sync` boundaries. More about that in the
|
|
*multi-threading* section.
|
|
|
|
To bind to a specific socket address, `bind()` must be used, and it may be
|
|
called multiple times. To bind ssl socket `bind_ssl()` or `bind_tls()` should be used.
|
|
To start the http server, one of the start methods.
|
|
|
|
- use `start()` for a server
|
|
|
|
`HttpServer` is an actix actor. It must be initialized within a properly configured actix system:
|
|
|
|
{{< include-example example="server" section="main" >}}
|
|
|
|
> It is possible to start a server in a separate thread with the `run()` method. In that
|
|
> case the server spawns a new thread and creates a new actix system in it. To stop
|
|
> this server, send a `StopServer` message.
|
|
|
|
`HttpServer` is implemented as an actix actor. It is possible to communicate with the server
|
|
via a messaging system. Start method, e.g. `start()`, returns the
|
|
address of the started http server. It accepts several messages:
|
|
|
|
- `PauseServer` - Pause accepting incoming connections
|
|
- `ResumeServer` - Resume accepting incoming connections
|
|
- `StopServer` - Stop incoming connection processing, stop all workers and exit
|
|
|
|
{{< include-example example="server" file="signals.rs" section="signals" >}}
|
|
|
|
## Multi-threading
|
|
|
|
`HttpServer` automatically starts an number of http workers, by default
|
|
this number is equal to number of logical CPUs in the system. This number
|
|
can be overridden with the `HttpServer::workers()` method.
|
|
|
|
{{< include-example example="server" file="workers.rs" section="workers" >}}
|
|
|
|
The server creates a separate application instance for each created worker. Application state
|
|
is not shared between threads. To share state, `Arc` could be used.
|
|
|
|
> Application state does not need to be `Send` and `Sync`,
|
|
> but factories must be `Send` + `Sync`.
|
|
|
|
## SSL
|
|
|
|
There are two features for ssl server: `tls` and `alpn`. The `tls` feature is
|
|
for `native-tls` integration and `alpn` is for `openssl`.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
actix-web = { version = "{{< actix-version "actix-web" >}}", features = ["alpn"] }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{< include-example example="server" file="ssl.rs" section="ssl" >}}
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: the *HTTP/2.0* protocol requires
|
|
> [tls alpn](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301).
|
|
> At the moment, only `openssl` has `alpn` support.
|
|
> For a full example, check out
|
|
> [examples/tls](https://github.com/actix/examples/tree/master/tls).
|
|
|
|
To create the key.pem and cert.pem use the command. **Fill in your own subject**
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem \
|
|
-days 365 -sha256 -subj "/C=CN/ST=Fujian/L=Xiamen/O=TVlinux/OU=Org/CN=muro.lxd"
|
|
```
|
|
To remove the password, then copy nopass.pen to key.pem
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ openssl rsa -in key.pem -out nopass.pem
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Keep-Alive
|
|
|
|
Actix can wait for requests on a keep-alive connection.
|
|
|
|
> *keep alive* connection behavior is defined by server settings.
|
|
|
|
- `75`, `Some(75)`, `KeepAlive::Timeout(75)` - enable 75 second *keep alive* timer.
|
|
- `None` or `KeepAlive::Disabled` - disable *keep alive*.
|
|
- `KeepAlive::Tcp(75)` - use `SO_KEEPALIVE` socket option.
|
|
|
|
{{< include-example example="server" file="ka.rs" section="ka" >}}
|
|
|
|
If the first option is selected, then *keep alive* state is
|
|
calculated based on the response's *connection-type*. By default
|
|
`HttpResponse::connection_type` is not defined. In that case *keep alive* is
|
|
defined by the request's http version.
|
|
|
|
> *keep alive* is **off** for *HTTP/1.0* and is **on** for *HTTP/1.1* and *HTTP/2.0*.
|
|
|
|
*Connection type* can be change with `HttpResponseBuilder::connection_type()` method.
|
|
|
|
{{< include-example example="server" file="ka_tp.rs" section="example" >}}
|
|
|
|
## Graceful shutdown
|
|
|
|
`HttpServer` supports graceful shutdown. After receiving a stop signal, workers
|
|
have a specific amount of time to finish serving requests. Any workers still alive after the
|
|
timeout are force-dropped. By default the shutdown timeout is set to 30 seconds.
|
|
You can change this parameter with the `HttpServer::shutdown_timeout()` method.
|
|
|
|
You can send a stop message to the server with the server address and specify if you want
|
|
graceful shutdown or not. The `start()` methods returns address of the server.
|
|
|
|
`HttpServer` handles several OS signals. *CTRL-C* is available on all OSs,
|
|
other signals are available on unix systems.
|
|
|
|
- *SIGINT* - Force shutdown workers
|
|
- *SIGTERM* - Graceful shutdown workers
|
|
- *SIGQUIT* - Force shutdown workers
|
|
|
|
> It is possible to disable signal handling with `HttpServer::disable_signals()` method.
