IDE: Open and build mHttp.sln in MonoDevelop 5 (also tested with Visual Studio Community 2015).
Command-line: Otherwise, to build on the command-line in *nx environment with Mono installed:
$ xbuild /p:Configuration=Release mHttp.slnTo produce the mHttp.dll artifact under the mHttp/bin/Release directory.
This example uses the Mono C# command-line REPL.
1. Start a C# REPL session, loading the mHttp.dll assembly:
$ csharp -r:mHttp.dll
Mono C# Shell, type "help;" for help
Enter statements below.2. Import the m.Http namespace:
csharp> using m.Http;3. Instantiate the route table with a single route:
csharp> var routeTable = new RouteTable(
> Route.Get("/").With(request => new TextResponse("Hello " + request.Headers["User-Agent"]))
> );4. Instantiate and start the server backend listening on port 8080:
csharp> var server = new HttpBackend(System.Net.IPAddress.Any, 8080);
csharp> server.Start(routeTable);5. Hit the endpoint:
$ curl -v http://localhost:8080
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.35.0
......
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: text/plain
......
