proxygen is A collection of C++ HTTP libraries including an easy to use HTTP server.

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install proxygen on Fedora 34.

What is `proxygen`

Proxygen comprises the core C++ HTTP abstractions used at Facebook. Internally, it is used as the basis for building many HTTP servers, proxies, and clients. This release focuses on the common HTTP abstractions and our simple HTTPServer framework. Future releases will provide simple client APIs as well. The framework supports HTTP/1.1, SPDY/3, SPDY/3.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3. The goal is to provide a simple, performant, and modern C++ HTTP library.
