Overview

Simple setup of cpp based thrift server for JSON protocol and HTTP transport, and a javascript client to interact with it.

Usage

• We use thrift to generate skeleton files for both server(cpp) and client side(js):

  $ thrift –gen cpp shared.thrift
  $ thrift –gen cpp tutorial.thrift
  $ thrift –gen js shared.thrift
  $ thrift –gen js tutorial.thrift
  

• Compile all the files using make

  $ make
  

• To run server and log all the events

  $./CppServer
  

• To run client just open tutorial.html file in any browser:

Issues:

• Handling "Preflighted requests" from chrome browser is still not neat and at times I am getting error message:

  "TThreadedServer client died: Could not refill buffer"
