Signed HTTP Exchange library
Introduction
Signed HTTP Exchange (SXG) is file format which contains an HTTP exchange (request and response) signed by a publisher's origin. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yasskin-http-origin-signed-responses-06
If the publisher creates an SXG file with a valid signature, it will be treated like a valid HTTP response regardless of the distribution channel.
This library is a minimal toolkit for handling SXG files.
Requirements
- tested on OpenSSL 1.1.1c.
Build & Install
Simple cmake project.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path/to/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DCMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR=bin
$ make sxg
$ sudo make installDocumentation
See docs.
