<p>In the previous chapter, you sent requests from a client to a test server. Now let's walk through how that server actually works.</p>
<h2>Starting the Server</h2>
<p>Once you've registered your routes, call <code>svr.listen()</code> to start the server.</p>
<div class="code-dark"><pre style="background-color:#2d2d2d;">
<div class="code-block-wrapper"><div data-code-theme="dark"><pre style="background-color:#2d2d2d;">
<span style="color:#d3d0c8;">svr.</span><span style="color:#6699cc;">listen</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">(&quot;</span><span style="color:#99cc99;">0.0.0.0</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">&quot;, </span><span style="color:#f99157;">8080</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">);
</span></pre>
</div><div class="code-light"><pre style="background-color:#eff1f5;">
<span style="color:#4f5b66;">svr.</span><span style="color:#8fa1b3;">listen</span><span style="color:#4f5b66;">(&quot;</span><span style="color:#a3be8c;">0.0.0.0</span><span style="color:#4f5b66;">&quot;, </span><span style="color:#d08770;">8080</span><span style="color:#4f5b66;">);
</div><div data-code-theme="light"><pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">svr.listen(</span><span style="color:#183691;">&quot;0.0.0.0&quot;</span><span style="color:#323232;">, </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">8080</span><span style="color:#323232;">);
</span></pre>
</div>

<p>The first argument is the host, and the second is the port. <code>"0.0.0.0"</code> listens on all network interfaces. Use <code>"127.0.0.1"</code> if you want to accept connections from your own machine only.</p>
<p><code>listen()</code> is a blocking call. It won't return until the server stops. The server keeps running until you press <code>Ctrl+C</code> in your terminal or call <code>svr.stop()</code> from another thread.</p>
<h2>Routing</h2>
<p>Routing is the heart of any server. It's how you tell cpp-httplib: when a request comes in for this URL with this HTTP method, run this code.</p>

<p><code>svr.Get()</code> registers a handler for GET requests. The first argument is the path, the second is the handler function. When a GET request arrives at <code>/hi</code>, your lambda runs.</p>
<p>There's a method for each HTTP verb.</p>

<p>The handler only runs when the path matches. Requests to unregistered paths automatically return 404.</p>
<h2>The Request Object</h2>
<p>The first parameter <code>req</code> gives you everything the client sent.</p>
<h3>Body</h3>
<p><code>req.body</code> holds the request body as a <code>std::string</code>.</p>

<p><code>/files/42</code> matches, but <code>/files/abc</code> doesn't. This is handy when you want to constrain what values are accepted.</p>
<h2>Building a Response</h2>
<p>The second parameter <code>res</code> is how you send data back to the client.</p>
<h3>Body and Content-Type</h3>
<p><code>res.set_content()</code> sets the body and Content-Type. That's all you need for a 200 response.</p>
