ring-http-exchange

Clojure ring adapter for com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer which is included in the JDK.

The main motivation for this is to support starting a small HTTP server inside an application which itself isn't necessary primarily a web app, while avoiding adding any new major dependencies on the classpath.

Usage

(:require [ring-http-exchange.core :as server])

(server/run-http-server
  (fn [_]
    {:status 200
     :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html; charset=utf-8"}
     :body "hello world"})
  {:port 8080
   :ssl-context (ssl/keystore->ssl-context 
                                      (io/resource "keystore.jks") "keystore-password"
                                      (io/resource "truststore.jks") "truststore-password")
   :executor (Executors/newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor)})
