-Using Thrift with Go
-====================
-
-In following Go conventions, we reccomend you use the 'go' tool to install
-Thrift for go.
-
-    $ go get git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift
-
-Will install the last stable release.
-
-
-A note about optional fields
-============================
-
-The thrift-to-Go compiler tries to represent thrift IDL structs as Go structs.
-We must be able to distinguish between optional fields that are set to their
-default value and optional values which are actually unset, so the generated
-code represents optional fields via pointers.
-
-This is generally intuitive and works well much of the time, but Go does not
-have a syntax for creating a pointer to a constant in a single expression. That
-is, given a struct like
-
-    struct SomeIDLType {
-    	OptionalField *int32
-    }
-
-, the following will not compile:
-
-    x := &SomeIDLType{
-    	OptionalField: &(3),
-    }
-
-(Nor is there any other syntax that's built in to the language)
-
-As such, we provide some helpers that do just this under lib/go/thrift/. E.g.,
-
-    x := &SomeIDLType{
-    	OptionalField: thrift.Int32Ptr(3),
-    }
-
-And so on. The code generator also creates analogous helpers for user-defined
-typedefs and enums.

-under the License.
-
-Compile
-=======
-
-Use Cabal to compile and install; ./configure uses Cabal underneath, and that
-path is not yet well tested. Thrift's library and generated code should compile
-with pretty much any GHC extensions or warnings you enable (or disable).
-Please report this not being the case as a bug on
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa
-
-Chances you'll need to muck a bit with Cabal flags to install Thrift:
-
-CABAL_CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--user" ./configure
-
-Base Types
-==========
-
-The mapping from Thrift types to Haskell's is:
-
- * double -> Double
- * byte -> Data.Word.Word8
- * i16 -> Data.Int.Int16
- * i32 -> Data.Int.Int32
- * i64 -> Data.Int.Int64
- * string -> Text
- * binary -> Data.ByteString.Lazy
- * bool -> Boolean
-
-Enums
-=====
-
-Become Haskell 'data' types. Use fromEnum to get out the int value.
-
-Lists
-=====
-
-Become Data.Vector.Vector from the vector package.
-
-Maps and Sets
-=============
-
-Become Data.HashMap.Strict.Map and Data.HashSet.Set from the
-unordered-containers package.
-
-Structs
-=======
-
-Become records. Field labels are ugly, of the form f_STRUCTNAME_FIELDNAME. All
-fields are Maybe types.
-
-Exceptions
-==========
-
-Identical to structs. Use them with throw and catch from Control.Exception.
-
-Client
-======
-
-Just a bunch of functions. You may have to import a bunch of client files to
-deal with inheritance.
-
-Interface
-=========
-
-You should only have to import the last one in the chain of inheritors. To make
-an interface, declare a label:
-
-  data MyIface = MyIface
-
-and then declare it an instance of each iface class, starting with the superest
-class and proceding down (all the while defining the methods).  Then pass your
-label to process as the handler.
-
-Processor
-=========
-
-Just a function that takes a handler label, protocols. It calls the
-superclasses process if there is a superclass.

-Using Thrift with Java
-======================
-
-The Thrift Java source is not build using the GNU tools, but rather uses
-the Apache Ant build system, which tends to be predominant amongst Java
-developers.
-
-To compile the Java Thrift libraries, simply do the following:
-
-ant
-
-Yep, that's easy. Look for libthrift.jar in the base directory.
-
-To include Thrift in your applications simply add libthrift.jar to your
-classpath, or install if in your default system classpath of choice.
-
-
-Build Thrift behind a proxy:
-
-ant -Dproxy.enabled=1 -Dproxy.host=myproxyhost -Dproxy.user=thriftuser -Dproxy.pass=topsecret
-
-or via
-
-./configure --with-java ANT_FLAGS='-Dproxy.enabled=1 -Dproxy.host=myproxyhost -Dproxy.user=thriftuser -Dproxy.pass=topsecret'
-

-Dependencies

-  /src  - The JavaScript Apache Thrift source
-  /doc  - HTML documentation
-  /dist - Distribution files (thrift.js and thrift.min.js)
-  /test - Various tests, this is a good place to look for
-          example code
-  /node_modules - Build support files installed by npm

-regarding copyright ownership. The ASF licenses this file

-"AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY
-KIND, either express or implied. See the License for the
-specific language governing permissions and limitations
-under the License.
-
-
-Library
-=======
-
-The library abstract classes, exceptions, and general use functions
-are mostly jammed in Thrift.ml (an exception being
-TServer).
-
-Generally, classes are used, however they are often put in their own
-module along with other relevant types and functions. The classes
-often called t, exceptions are called E.
-
-Implementations live in their own files. There is TBinaryProtocol,
-TSocket, TThreadedServer, TSimpleServer, and TServerSocket.
-
-A note on making the library: Running make should create native, debug
-code libraries, and a toplevel.
-
-
-Struct format
--------------
-Structs are turned into classes. The fields are all option types and
-are initially None. Write is a method, but reading is done by a
-separate function (since there is no such thing as a static
-class). The class type is t and is in a module with the name of the
-struct.
-
-
-enum format
------------
-Enums are put in their own module along with
-functions to_i and of_i which convert the ocaml types into ints. For
-example:
-
-enum Numberz
-{
-  ONE = 1,
-  TWO,
-  THREE,
-  FIVE = 5,
-  SIX,
-  EIGHT = 8
-}
-
-==>
-
-module Numberz =
-struct
-type t =
-| ONE
-| TWO
-| THREE
-| FIVE
-| SIX
-| EIGHT
-
-let of_i = ...
-let to_i = ...
-end
-
-typedef format
---------------
-Typedef turns into the type declaration:
-typedef i64 UserId
-
-==>
-
-type userid Int64.t
-
-exception format
-----------------
-The same as structs except that the module also has an exception type
-E of t that is raised/caught.
-
-For example, with an exception Xception,
-raise (Xception.E (new Xception.t))
-and
-try
-  ...
-with Xception.E e -> ...
-
-list format
------------
-Lists are turned into OCaml native lists.
-
-Map/Set formats
----------------
-These are both turned into Hashtbl.t's. Set values are bool.
-
-Services
---------
-The client is a class "client" parametrized on input and output
-protocols. The processor is a class parametrized on a handler. A
-handler is a class inheriting the iface abstract class. Unlike other
-implementations, client does not implement iface since iface functions
-must take option arguments so as to deal with the case where a client
-does not send all the arguments.

-
-Using Thrift with PHP
-=====================
-
-Thrift requires PHP 5. Thrift makes as few assumptions about your PHP
-environment as possible while trying to make some more advanced PHP
-features (i.e. APC cacheing using asbolute path URLs) as simple as possible.
-
-To use Thrift in your PHP codebase, take the following steps:
-
-#1) Copy all of thrift/lib/php/lib into your PHP codebase
-#2) Configure Symfony Autoloader (or whatever you usually use)
-
-After that, you have to manually include the Thrift package
-created by the compiler:
-
-require_once 'packages/Service/Service.php';
-require_once 'packages/Service/Types.php';
-
-Dependencies
-============
-
-PHP_INT_SIZE
-
-  This built-in signals whether your architecture is 32 or 64 bit and is
-  used by the TBinaryProtocol to properly use pack() and unpack() to
-  serialize data.
-
-apc_fetch(), apc_store()
-
-  APC cache is used by the TSocketPool class. If you do not have APC installed,
-  Thrift will fill in null stub function definitions.

-Building PHP Thrift Services with Apache
-========================================
-
-Thrift can be embedded in the Apache webserver with PHP installed. Sample
-code is provided below. Note that to make requests to this type of server
-you must use a THttpClient transport.
-
-Sample Code
-===========
-
-<?php
-
-namespace MyNamespace;
-
-/**
- * Include path
- */
-$THRIFT_ROOT = '/your/thrift/root/lib';
-
-/**
- * Init Autloader
- */
-require_once $THRIFT_ROOT . '/Thrift/ClassLoader/ThriftClassLoader.php';
-
-$loader = new ThriftClassLoader();
-$loader->registerNamespace('Thrift', $THRIFT_ROOT);
-$loader->registerDefinition('Thrift', $THRIFT_ROOT . '/packages');
-$loader->register();
-
-use Thrift\Transport\TPhpStream;
-use Thrift\Protocol\TBinaryProtocol;
-
-/**
- * Example of how to build a Thrift server in Apache/PHP
- */
-
-class ServiceHandler implements ServiceIf {
-  // Implement your interface and methods here
-}
-
-header('Content-Type: application/x-thrift');
-
-$handler = new ServiceHandler();
-$processor = new ServiceProcessor($handler);
-
-// Use the TPhpStream transport to read/write directly from HTTP
-$transport = new TPhpStream(TPhpStream::MODE_R | TPhpStream::MODE_W);
-$protocol = new TBinaryProtocol($transport);
-
-$transport->open();
-$processor->process($protocol, $protocol);
-$transport->close();

+Building PHP Thrift Services with Apache
+========================================
+
+Thrift can be embedded in the Apache webserver with PHP installed. Sample
+code is provided below. Note that to make requests to this type of server
+you must use a THttpClient transport.
+
+Sample Code
+===========
+
+<?php
+
+namespace MyNamespace;
+
+/**
+ * Include path
+ */
+$THRIFT_ROOT = '/your/thrift/root/lib';
+
+/**
+ * Init Autloader
+ */
+require_once $THRIFT_ROOT . '/Thrift/ClassLoader/ThriftClassLoader.php';
+
+$loader = new ThriftClassLoader();
+$loader->registerNamespace('Thrift', $THRIFT_ROOT);
+$loader->registerDefinition('Thrift', $THRIFT_ROOT . '/packages');
+$loader->register();
+
+use Thrift\Transport\TPhpStream;
+use Thrift\Protocol\TBinaryProtocol;
+
+/**
+ * Example of how to build a Thrift server in Apache/PHP
+ */
+
+class ServiceHandler implements ServiceIf {
+  // Implement your interface and methods here
+}
+
+header('Content-Type: application/x-thrift');
+
+$handler = new ServiceHandler();
+$processor = new ServiceProcessor($handler);
+
+// Use the TPhpStream transport to read/write directly from HTTP
+$transport = new TPhpStream(TPhpStream::MODE_R | TPhpStream::MODE_W);
+$protocol = new TBinaryProtocol($transport);
+
+$transport->open();
+$processor->process($protocol, $protocol);
+$transport->close();

+
+Using Thrift with PHP
+=====================
+
+Thrift requires PHP 5. Thrift makes as few assumptions about your PHP
+environment as possible while trying to make some more advanced PHP
+features (i.e. APC cacheing using asbolute path URLs) as simple as possible.
+
+To use Thrift in your PHP codebase, take the following steps:
+
+#1) Copy all of thrift/lib/php/lib into your PHP codebase
+#2) Configure Symfony Autoloader (or whatever you usually use)
+
+After that, you have to manually include the Thrift package
+created by the compiler:
+
+require_once 'packages/Service/Service.php';
+require_once 'packages/Service/Types.php';
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+PHP_INT_SIZE
+
+  This built-in signals whether your architecture is 32 or 64 bit and is
+  used by the TBinaryProtocol to properly use pack() and unpack() to
+  serialize data.
+
+apc_fetch(), apc_store()
+
+  APC cache is used by the TSocketPool class. If you do not have APC installed,
+  Thrift will fill in null stub function definitions.

-Using Thrift with Python
-========================
-
-Thrift is provided as a set of Python packages. The top level package is
-thrift, and there are subpackages for the protocol, transport, and server
-code. Each package contains modules using standard Thrift naming conventions
-(i.e. TProtocol, TTransport) and implementations in corresponding modules
-(i.e. TSocket).  There is also a subpackage reflection, which contains
-the generated code for the reflection structures.
-
-The Python libraries can be installed manually using the provided setup.py
-file, or automatically using the install hook provided via autoconf/automake.
-To use the latter, become superuser and do make install.

-Tutorial
-========
-
-1) First things first, you'll need to install the Thrift compiler and the
-   language libraries. Do that using the instructions in the top level
-   README file.
-
-2) Read tutorial.thrift to learn about the syntax of a Thrift file
-
-3) Compile the code for the language of your choice:
-
-     $ thrift
-     $ thrift -r --gen cpp tutorial.thrift
-
-4) Take a look at the generated code.
-
-5) Look in the language directories for sample client/server code.
-
-6) That's about it for now. This tutorial is intentionally brief. It should be
-   just enough to get you started and ready to build your own project.

-Introduction
-============
-
-Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack with an
-associated code generation mechanism for RPC. Thrift provides clean
-abstractions for data transport, data serialization, and application
-level processing. The code generation system takes a simple definition
-language as its input and generates code across programming languages that
-uses the abstracted stack to build interoperable RPC clients and servers.
-
-Thrift is specifically designed to support non-atomic version changes
-across client and server code.
-
-For more details on Thrift's design and implementation, take a gander at
-the Thrift whitepaper included in this distribution or at the README files
-in your particular subdirectory of interest.

-
-Requirements
-============
-
-See http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftRequirements for
-an up-to-date list of build requirements.
-
-Resources
-=========
-
-More information about Thrift can be obtained on the Thrift webpage at:
-
-     http://thrift.apache.org
-
-Acknowledgments
-===============
-
-Thrift was inspired by pillar, a lightweight RPC tool written by Adam D'Angelo,
-and also by Google's protocol buffers.
-
-Installation
-============
-
-If you are building from the first time out of the source repository, you will
-need to generate the configure scripts.  (This is not necessary if you
-downloaded a tarball.)  From the top directory, do:
-
-	./bootstrap.sh
-
-Once the configure scripts are generated, thrift can be configured.
-From the top directory, do:
-
-	./configure
-
-You may need to specify the location of the boost files explicitly.
-If you installed boost in /usr/local, you would run configure as follows:
-
-	./configure --with-boost=/usr/local
-
-Note that by default the thrift C++ library is typically built with debugging
-symbols included. If you want to customize these options you should use the
-CXXFLAGS option in configure, as such:
-
-        ./configure CXXFLAGS='-g -O2'
-        ./configure CFLAGS='-g -O2'
-        ./configure CPPFLAGS='-DDEBUG_MY_FEATURE'
-
-Run ./configure --help to see other configuration options
-
-Please be aware that the Python library will ignore the --prefix option
-and just install wherever Python's distutils puts it (usually along
-the lines of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/).  If you need to control
-where the Python modules are installed, set the PY_PREFIX variable.
-(DESTDIR is respected for Python and C++.)
-
-Make thrift:
-
-	make
-
-From the top directory, become superuser and do:
-
-	make install
-
-Note that some language packages must be installed manually using build tools
-better suited to those languages (at the time of this writing, this applies
-to Java, Ruby, PHP).
-
-Look for the README file in the lib/<language>/ folder for more details on the
-installation of each language library package.
-
-Testing
-=======
-
-There are a large number of client library tests that can all be run
-from the top-level directory.
-
-          make -k check
-
-This will make all of the libraries (as necessary), and run through
-the unit tests defined in each of the client libraries. If a single
-language fails, the make check will continue on and provide a synopsis
-at the end.
-
-To run the cross-language test suite, please run:
-
-          make cross
-
-This will run a set of tests that use different language clients and
-servers.

+Sample code for STOMP-based Thrift clients and/or servers.
+
+Although the sample Thrift STOMP Transport is written in 
+Delphi/Pascal, it can easily serve as a starting point for 
+similar implementations in other languages.
+
+STOMP is a protocol widely supported by many messaging systems,
+such as Apache ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ and many others. In particular,
+it can be used to communicate with Service-Bus products like Rebus
+or NServiceBus, when running against a STOMP-capable MQ system.

-------------------------------------
-
-* Curious about the 303? *

-The TB303 makes bass lines.
-.Bass is what lies underneath any strong tune.
-..fb303 is the shared root of all thrift services.
-...fb303 => FacebookBase303.
-
-* How do I use this? *

-
-* What does it provide? *
-A standard interface to monitoring, dynamic options and configuration,
-uptime reports, activity, etc.
-
-* I want more. *
-Think carefully first about whether the functionality you are going to add
-belongs here or in your application. If it can be abstracted and is generally
-useful, then it probably belongs somewhere in the fb303 tree. Keep in mind,
-not every product has to use ALL the functionality of fb303, but every product

+Thrift transport sample project
+-------------------------------
+
+This cross-platform project has been built with Windows Visual Studio 10 and 
+OSX 10.7.1's g++.  The client and server support socket and pipe transports 
+through command-line switches.
+
+Windows supports both named & anonymous pipes; *NIX gets only named 
+'pipes' at this time.
+
+Windows-only at this time:
+The client & server are double-ended. Both sides run a server and client to 
+enable full duplex bidirectional event signaling. They are simple command 
+line apps. The server runs until it's aborted (Ctl-C). The client connects to
+the server, informs the server of its listening pipe/port, runs some more RPCs 
+and exits. The server also makes RPC calls to the client to demonstrate 
+bidirectional operation.
+
+Prequisites:
+Boost -- tested with Boost 1.47, other versions may work.
+libthrift library -- build the library under "thrift/lib/cpp/"
+thrift IDL compiler -- download from http://thrift.apache.org/download/ 
+   or build from "thrift/compiler/cpp".  The IDL compiler version should
+   match the thrift source distribution's version. For instance, thrift-0.9.0
+   has a different directory structure than thrift-0.8.0 and the generated
+   files are not compatible.
+
+Note: Bulding the thrift IDL compiler and library are beyond the scope
+of this article. Please refer to the Thrift documentation in the respective
+directories and online.
+
+
+Microsoft Windows with Visual Studio 10
+----------------------------------------
+Copy the IDL compiler 'thrift.exe' to this project folder or to a location in the path.
+Run thriftme.bat to generate the interface source from the thrift files.
+
+Open transport-sample.sln and...
+Adapt the Boost paths for the client and server projects. Right-click on each project, select
+Properties, then:
+Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories
+Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Include Directories
+
+The stock path assumes that Boost is located at the same level as the thrift repo root.
+
+Run the following in separate command prompts from the Release or Debug 
+build folder:
+ server.exe -np test
+ client.exe -np test
+
+
+*NIX flavors
+------------
+Build the thrift cpp library.
+Build the IDL compiler and copy it to this project folder.
+Run thriftme.sh to generate the interface source from the thrift files.
+Run 'make'
+
+Run the following in separate shells:
+ server/server -np /tmp/test

-
-Using Thrift with C++
-=====================
-
-The Thrift C++ libraries are built using the GNU tools. Follow the instructions
-in the top-level README, or run bootstrap.sh in this folder to generate the
-Makefiles.
-
-In case you do not want to open another README file, do this:
-  ./bootstrap.sh
-  ./configure (--with-boost=/usr/local)
-  make
-  sudo make install
-
-Thrift is divided into two libraries.
-
-libthrift
-  The core Thrift library contains all the core Thrift code. It requires
-  boost shared pointers, pthreads, and librt.
-
-libthriftnb
-  This library contains the Thrift nonblocking server, which uses libevent.
-  To link this library you will also need to link libevent.
-
-Linking Against Thrift
-======================
-
-After you build and install Thrift the libraries are installed to
-/usr/local/lib by default. Make sure this is in your LDPATH.
-
-On Linux, the best way to do this is to ensure that /usr/local/lib is in
-your /etc/ld.so.conf and then run /sbin/ldconfig.
-
-Depending upon whether you are linking dynamically or statically and how
-your build environment it set up, you may need to include additional
-libraries when linking against thrift, such as librt and/or libpthread. If
-you are using libthriftnb you will also need libevent.

-Notes on Thrift/SSL

-Author: Ping Li <pi...@facebook.com>
-
-1. Scope
-
-   This SSL only supports blocking mode socket I/O. It can only be used with
-   TSimpleServer, TThreadedServer, and TThreadPoolServer.
-
-2. Implementation
-
-   There're two main classes TSSLSocketFactory and TSSLSocket. Instances of
-   TSSLSocket are always created from TSSLSocketFactory.
-
-   PosixSSLThreadFactory creates PosixSSLThread. The only difference from the
-   PthreadThread type is that it cleanups OpenSSL error queue upon exiting
-   the thread. Ideally, OpenSSL APIs should only be called from PosixSSLThread.
-
-3. How to use SSL APIs
-
-   // This is for demo. In real code, typically only one TSSLSocketFactory
-   // instance is needed.
-   shared_ptr<TSSLSocketFactory> getSSLSocketFactory() {
-     shared_ptr<TSSLSocketFactory> factory(new TSSLSocketFactory());
-     // client: load trusted certificates
-     factory->loadTrustedCertificates("my-trusted-ca-certificates.pem");
-     // client: optionally set your own access manager, otherwise,
-     //         the default client access manager will be loaded.
-
-     factory->loadCertificate("my-certificate-signed-by-ca.pem");
-     factory->loadPrivateKey("my-private-key.pem");
-     // server: optionally setup access manager
-     // shared_ptr<AccessManager> accessManager(new MyAccessManager);
-     // factory->access(accessManager);
-     ...
-   }
-
-   // client code sample
-   shared_ptr<TSSLSocketFactory> factory = getSSLSocketFactory();
-   shared_ptr<TSocket> socket = factory.createSocket(host, port);
-   shared_ptr<TBufferedTransport> transport(new TBufferedTransport(socket));
-   ...
-
-   // server code sample
-   shared_ptr<TSSLSocketFactory> factory = getSSLSocketFactory();
-   shared_ptr<TSSLServerSocket> socket(new TSSLServerSocket(port, factory));
-   shared_ptr<TTransportFactory> transportFactory(new TBufferedTransportFactory));
-   ...
-
-4. AccessManager
-
-   AccessManager defines a callback interface. It has three callback methods:
-
-   (a) Decision verify(const sockaddr_storage& sa);
-   (b) Decision verify(const string& host, const char* name, int size);
-   (c) Decision verify(const sockaddr_storage& sa, const char* data, int size);
-
-   After SSL handshake completes, additional checks are conducted. Application
-   is given the chance to decide whether or not to continue the conversation
-   with the remote. Application is queried through the above three "verify"
-   method. They are called at different points of the verification process.
-
-   Decisions can be one of ALLOW, DENY, and SKIP. ALLOW and DENY means the
-   conversation should be continued or disconnected, respectively. ALLOW and
-   DENY decision stops the verification process. SKIP means there's no decision
-   based on the given input, continue the verification process.
-
-   First, (a) is called with the remote IP. It is called once at the beginning.
-   "sa" is the IP address of the remote peer.
-
-   Then, the certificate of remote peer is loaded. SubjectAltName extensions
-   are extracted and sent to application for verification. When a DNS
-   subjectAltName field is extracted, (b) is called. When an IP subjectAltName
-   field is extracted, (c) is called.
-
-   The "host" in (b) is the value from TSocket::getHost() if this is a client
-   side socket, or TSocket::getPeerHost() if this is a server side socket. The
-   reason is client side socket initiates the connection. TSocket::getHost()
-   is the remote host name. On server side, the remote host name is unknown
-   unless it's retrieved through TSocket::getPeerHost(). Either way, "host"
-   should be the remote host name. Keep in mind, if TSocket::getPeerHost()
-   failed, it would return the remote host name in numeric format.
-
-   If all subjectAltName extensions were "skipped", the common name field would
-   be checked. It is sent to application through (c), where "sa" is the remote
-   IP address. "data" is the IP address extracted from subjectAltName IP
-   extension, and "size" is the length of the extension data.
-
-   If any of the above "verify" methods returned a decision ALLOW or DENY, the
-   verification process would be stopped.
-
-   If any of the above "verify" methods returned SKIP, that decision would be
-   ignored and the verification process would move on till the last item is
-   examined. At that point, if there's still no decision, the connection is
-   terminated.
-
-   Thread safety, an access manager should not store state information if it's
-   to be used by many SSL sockets.
-
-5. SIGPIPE signal
-
-   Applications running OpenSSL over network connections may crash if SIGPIPE
-   is not ignored. This happens when they receive a connection reset by remote
-   peer exception, which somehow triggers a SIGPIPE signal. If not handled,
-   this signal would kill the application.
-
-6. How to run test client/server in SSL mode
-
-   The server expects the followings from the current working directory,
-   - "server-certificate.pem"
-   - "server-private-key.pem"
-
-   The client loads "trusted-ca-certificate.pem" from current directory.
-
-   The file names are hard coded in the source code. You need to create these
-   certificates before you can run the test code in SSL mode. Make sure at least
-   one of the followings is included in "server-certificate.pem",
-   - subjectAltName, DNS localhost
-   - subjectAltName, IP  127.0.0.1
-   - common name,    localhost
-
-   Run,
-   - "./test_server --ssl" to start server
-   - "./test_client --ssl" to run client
-
-   If "-h <host>" is used to run client, the above "localhost" in the above
-   server-certificate.pem has to be replaced with that host name.
-
-7. TSSLSocketFactory::randomize()
-
-   The default implementation of OpenSSLSocketFactory::randomize() simply calls
-   OpenSSL's RAND_poll() when OpenSSL library is first initialized.
-
-   The PRNG seed is key to the application security. This method should be
-   overridden if it's not strong enough for you.

+
+Using Thrift with C++
+=====================
+
+The Thrift C++ libraries are built using the GNU tools. Follow the instructions
+in the top-level README, or run bootstrap.sh in this folder to generate the
+Makefiles.
+
+In case you do not want to open another README file, do this:
+  ./bootstrap.sh
+  ./configure (--with-boost=/usr/local)
+  make
+  sudo make install
+
+Thrift is divided into two libraries.
+
+libthrift
+  The core Thrift library contains all the core Thrift code. It requires
+  boost shared pointers, pthreads, and librt.
+
+libthriftnb
+  This library contains the Thrift nonblocking server, which uses libevent.
+  To link this library you will also need to link libevent.
+
+Linking Against Thrift
+======================
+
+After you build and install Thrift the libraries are installed to
+/usr/local/lib by default. Make sure this is in your LDPATH.
+
+On Linux, the best way to do this is to ensure that /usr/local/lib is in
+your /etc/ld.so.conf and then run /sbin/ldconfig.
+
+Depending upon whether you are linking dynamically or statically and how
+your build environment it set up, you may need to include additional
+libraries when linking against thrift, such as librt and/or libpthread. If
+you are using libthriftnb you will also need libevent.
+
+Dependencies
+============

-Using Thrift with C++
-=====================
-
-You need to define an enviroment variable called THIRD_PARTY. The project
-assumes that you have extracted the dependancies into their default structure
-into the path defined by THIRD_PARTY.
-
-e.g. $(THIRD_PARTY)/boost/boost_1_47_0/

-  boost shared pointers and boost thread.
-
-libthriftnb

-
-Linking Against Thrift
-======================
-
-You need to link your project that uses thrift against all the thrift
-dependancies; in the case of libthrift, boost and for
-libthriftnb, libevent.
-
-In the project properties you must also set HAVE_CONFIG_H as force include
-the config header: "windows/confg.h"
-
-Dependencies
-============
-
-boost shared pointers
-http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm
-
-boost thread
-http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/doc/html/thread.html
-
-libevent (for libthriftnb only)
-http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
-
-Notes on boost thread (static vs shared):
-=========================================
-
-By default lib/cpp/windows/force_inc.h defines:
-
-#define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB 1
-#define BOOST_THREAD_NO_LIB 1
-
-This has for effect to have the host application linking against Thrift
-to have to link with boost thread as a static library.
-
-If you wanted instead to link with boost thread as a shared library,
-you'll need to uncomment those two lines, and recompile.
-
-Windows version compatibility
-=============================
-The Thrift library targets Windows XP for broadest compatbility. A notable
-difference is in the Windows-specific implementation of the socket poll
-function. To target Vista, Win7 or other versions, comment out the line
-#define TARGET_WIN_XP.
-
-Named Pipes
-===========
-- Named Pipe transport has been added in the TPipe and TPipeServer classes.
-  This is currently Windows-only (see below).
-
-Known issues
-============
-
-- Named pipe transport for *NIX has not been implemented. Domain sockets are
-  a better choice for local IPC under non-Windows OS's. *NIX named pipes 
-  only support 1:1 client-server connection.
-
-TODO
-====
-
-- Port remaining classes in libthrift:
-    - TSSLSocket
-
-- Port test cases. (Not even started this. Run test cases in release mode?)
-
-- Autolink libraries depending on debug\release build.
-
-- Auto versioning.

-
-Testing
--------
-
-D support in Thrift is covered by two sets of tests: first,
-the unit test blocks contained in the D source files, and
-second, the more extensive testing applications in the test/
-subdirectory, which also make use of the Thrift compiler.
-Both are built when running "make check", but only the
-unit tests are immediately run, however – the separate test
-cases typically run longer or require manual intervention.
-It might also be prudent to run the independent tests,
-which typically consist of a server and a client part,
-against the other language implementations.
-
-To build the unit tests on Windows, the easiest way might
-be to manually create a file containing an empty main() and
-invoke the compiler by running the following in the src/
-directory (PowerShell syntax):
-
-dmd -ofunittest -unittest -w $(dir -r -filter '*.d' -name)
-
-If you want to run the test clients/servers in OpenSSL
-mode, you have to provide »server-private-key.pem« and
-»server-certificate.pem« files in the directory the server
-executable resides in, and a »trusted-ca-certificate.pem«
-file for the client. The easiest way is to generate a new
-self signed certificate using the provided config file
-(openssl.test.cnf):
-
-openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -config openssl.test.cnf \
-  -out server-certificate.pem
-cat server-certificate.pem > trusted-ca-certificate.pem
-
-This steps are also performed automatically by the
-Autotools build system if the files are not present.
