Charles KWON OhJun 384f957f4e feat(httpserver): HTTP_SERVER_START / _STOP with PRG handler dispatch
Adds hbrtl_ext/httpserver — a Five RTL extension that exposes a
single-process HTTP server controlled entirely from PRG.

Wire contract:
  HTTP_SERVER_START(cAddr, cHandlerFunc)  → blocking; returns NIL or cErr
  HTTP_SERVER_STOP()                      → graceful shutdown

PRG handler signature:
  FUNCTION OnRequest( hReq ) -> hResp
    hReq:  method, path, query, headers (hash), body, remote_addr
    hResp: status (default 200), headers (hash), body

Each request runs on its own hbrt.Thread via vm.NewThread(), the same
pattern pgserver uses for connection isolation. Handler panics are
caught and turned into a 500.

The package is wired into fnode's defaultRTL list so any build that
doesn't override --rtl picks it up automatically.

Verified end-to-end with app/echo_server.prg: GET/POST against :8089
return JSON envelopes with the correct method, path, query, body
length, remote_addr, and roundtripped user-agent header.

The mod_harbour-compatible AP_* surface (AP_METHOD, AP_RPUTS,
AP_JSONRESPONSE, etc.) will sit on top of this dispatcher in
sub-phase 1a.3 as PRG, not Go.

fivenode_go

FiveNode for Five — a Harbour-compatible web framework that compiles to a single Go binary. No Node.js, no FFI, no Apache. PRG sources go in, one executable comes out.

Successor to the koffi/N-API based fivenode framework, rebuilt on the Five Pure-Go runtime.

Status

Early bootstrap — Phase 1a in progress.

Architecture

Browser ──── HTTP/HTTPS ──── fivenode_go single binary
                              ├─ Five hbrt VM (PRG interpreter / compiled)
                              ├─ Five hbrtl (483 standard RTL functions)
                              ├─ hbrtl_ext/httpserver  — HTTP server RTL
                              ├─ hbrtl_ext/capi        — bridge_*.prg helpers
                              ├─ hbrtl_ext/pgrtl       — PostgreSQL client RTL
                              ├─ app/                  — bridge_*.prg + app PRG
                              └─ go:embed              — static assets

fnode build api/*.prg --extra-rtl=hbrtl_ext/... -o myapp produces a self-contained binary. No external dependencies beyond what the app code itself opens (e.g. a Postgres connection).

Build

go build -o fnode ./cmd/fnode
./fnode build app/hello.prg -o hello
./hello
