Thread-based concurrent HTTP Server that supports GET PUT POST AND File System requests inspired from Codecrafters HTTP Network Server

• The default local port of this server is 4221

• Extract URL path for HTTP server : An example request for the HTTP service :

GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost:4221\r\nUser-Agent: curl/7.64.1\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n

• Running cmake server :

mkdir build

cd build 

cmake ..

make 

./server

Testing the GET Method for URL Path from Codecrafters' description :

✅ Open a new terminal and send a random string as URL path to the 4221 port service :

curl -v http://localhost:4221/abcdefg

    - Expected Response :

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n\r\n

✅ Send an empty string as URL path to the 4221 port service :

curl -v http://localhost:4221/abcdefg

    - Expected Response :

HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n\r\n

✅ Support POST request header and concurrent client connections :

$ (sleep 3 && printf "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n") | nc localhost 4221 &
$ (sleep 3 && printf "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n") | nc localhost 4221 &
$ (sleep 3 && printf "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n") | nc localhost 4221 &

✅ Read from file directory :

./server --directory /tmp/

✅ Support gzip compression optimization :

$ curl -v -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" http://localhost:4221/echo/abc | hexdump -C

✅ Support close connection and persistent connections
