There has been no discernable activity in this repository for the last two years, and it is in dire need of some maintenance. I have taken up maintenance for the RobotWebTools WebRTC package already, and it'd be willing to step in for this package as well, as webrtc_ros depends on async_web_server_cpp, and this is one of the blockers we identified in RobotWebTools/webrtc_ros#53

Assuming that none of the former developers is still invested in this package, I'm hereby pinging the public team members of the organization, @banerjs, @dekent, and @rctoris, to ask for assistance in transitioning the maintenance.

I can continue maintaining the package here if someone were to grant me write access to this repository and https://github.com/gt-rail-release/async_web_server_cpp-release, or I could fork the repository to a namespace under my control and then take over the rosdistro entry. The latter is probably easier to do when I can point to e.g. this issue to show that I have consent of the former maintainers.

Similar to GT-RAIL/rosauth#16.

We would like to contribute a ros2 branch to this repo. If you could provide me access (as for the rosauth repo) I would go ahead, create the branch as well as create the first PR targeting that branch. Thanks!

Hello,

I am using https://github.com/RobotWebTools/web_video_server that builds on top of your web server. Networks and protocols are very mysterious things for me and I am extremely grateful that this open source code exists :)

Due to my ignorance in this matter, I'd have a question in regard to security:

If I use this library to stream a video from a local machine to a remote Apache server (which I have set up on a virtual machine), am I exposing my local machine to some sort of risk to be hacked?

Potentially, this is a poorly posed question, so please let me know if you need extra information to answer it.

Thanks a lot in advance.

can you release it in melodic to release web_video_server?

Hi,

I'm wondering if you have any plans for official ROS Kinetic support (ie, binaries). I was able to compile this code from source with absolutely 0 problems under Ubuntu 16.04 + ROS Kinetic.

Thanks.
