[Cppcms-users] Anybody uses cppcms::http::http_response io_mode raw or asynchronous_raw?

[Artyom B. <art...@gm...>]

Hello Dear CppCMS users

Have anybody used raw or asynchronous_raw with http_response?

I'm doing some changes for HTTP/1.1+websockets+performance improvement
support.
The original CppCMS design had an underlying assumption that the basic
communication protocol is derivative of CGI protocols - FastCGI, SCGI.

So when http web server was added it actually parsed CGI output headers and
converted them to HTTP ones. Thus use of raw/asynchronos_raw mode when the
user writes his own CGI headers instead of generating them via
http_response API was reasonable.

Today I want to make an HTTP protocol 1st class citizen in CppCMS - which
means that I don't silently assume that all IO is CGI based. It is actually
a requirement for extensions like WebSockets and other things that can't be
passed via *CGI like protocols.

Removing "raw" *CGI I/O would simplify the task. I can implement it via an
intermediate CGI parser but it isn't the most trivial task.

So I need to understand if anybody actually uses this feature or I can
remove it in CppCMS 2.0.0?
