Using mongoose to provide rest api for my C++ application?

Question

I want to use mongoose for exposing rest apis from inside my aplication. However, I do not see any model of how this can be implemented.

Does anyone knows if it's possible of feasible to do using mongoose?

Can any exemple be provided demonstrating a simple case of it?

I've used mongoose to implement an HTTP interface to a Windows service in C++. It was fairly straightforward to wrap mongoose in a set of C++ classes. It's easy to retrieve request information and generate output streams. I used Boost.IOStreams to implement connection streams so that request handlers could use a std::ostream interface to write results back to the connection.

Use the set_uri_callback() function to define a handler for every possible request.

In each handler get the request type (GET, PUT, POST, etc.) and parameters.

Write the appropriate result back to the connection.

Thank you for the reply, however I do not see set_uri_callback on mongoose for c++. – Claudio Junior Jun 22 '12 at 15:55
@ClaudioJunior: I didn't realize there was a mongoose for C++. I used the C API. – Ferruccio Jun 22 '12 at 20:20
