Examples of how to create an HTTP server based on Qt framework

Presented 2 types of servers; single-threaded (blocking) and multi-threaded (non-blocking). Besides, other classes that are necessary to create a server, such as: Request, Response, and QTcpServer wrapper.

For simplicity - and also because we are only looking for results in these examples; The servers should echo back information about the request that they received - there are no fancy request handlers. Once you get the idea, you will be able to add your own request handler the way that suits your needs.

The single-threaded server examples handle only one request at a time. Therefore, it doesn't spawn any thread handlers to handle new incoming requests. It blocks requests until the one currently being handled is done.

Unlike the single-threaded server, it handles multiple requests concurrently by using a threadpool, (aka connection pool).

Both implementations of the server class share commom objects, which are: Request, Response, TcpServerWrapper, and ConnectionHandler.
