HTTP 1.1 Server

A simple HTTP 1.1 server built from scratch to understand the fundamentals of the HTTP protocol.

What is this?

This project implements a basic HTTP 1.1 server that:

  • Handles HTTP requests and responses manually
  • Parses HTTP headers and request methods
  • Multi threaded client connections
  • Serves static content from 'www' directory

Build & run

git clone https://github.com/msh31/http-server.git
cd http-server

mkdir build
cd build

cmake ..
cmake --build .

../http-server.exe
OR
.././http-server

The server will load any files in the www/* directory, given they are HTML/CSS/JS and or PNG/JPEGS

This implementation follows the tutorial by The Medium (loosely)
