The Kitura-net module contains logic for sending and receiving HTTP requests. It also contains the structure for listening on a port and sending requests to a delegate for processing. It can be used to create HTTP/CGI servers on specific ports, and provides HTTP functionality.

We expect most of our users to require higher level concepts such as routing, templates and middleware, these are not provided in Kitura-net, if you want to use those facilities you should be coding at the Kitura level, for this please see the Kitura project. Kitura-net underpins Kitura which offers a higher abstraction level to users.

Kitura-net utilises the BlueSocket framework, the BlueSSLService framework and CCurl.

• Port Listening
• FastCGI Server support
• HTTP Server support (request and response)

Add the Kitura-net package to the dependencies within your application’s Package.swift file. Substitute "x.x.x" with the latest Kitura-net release.

.package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura-net.git", from: "x.x.x")

Add KituraNet to your target's dependencies:

.target(name: "example", dependencies: ["KituraNet"]),

import KituraNet

All improvements to Kitura-net are very welcome! Here's how to get started with developing Kitura-net itself.
