HTTP Server

Repository link: https://github.com/x3medima17/httpserver

This is a simple C++ HTTP Server with a small web framework, inspired by Tornado.

This project is written for Network Programming course, KAIST.

Instalation

First of all clone or download this repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/x3medima17/httpserver

You need CMake to build this project.

$ cmake .
$ make

It will produce 3 executables: httpserver, proxy, httppserver_test.

Usage

To use it you need to start httpserver and proxy processes. Httpserver binds to 8081 port while proxy binds to port 80.

$ ./httpserver

$ sudo ./proxy

Now you can access http://localhost/ from your browser. There are 4 predefined pages:

http://localost/
http://localhost/hello
http://localhost/web
http://localhost/index

Highly recommend to take a look to the sources.
