Webserv

Description:

The "Webserv" project is a fundamental HTTP server implementation developed in C++ as part of the 42 Network's curriculum. This server is designed to handle incoming HTTP requests, process them, and generate appropriate responses, thereby functioning as a basic web server.

Key Features:

HTTP Server Development: Implementation of a basic HTTP server capable of handling HTTP requests and responses. Network Handling: Managing TCP connections, sockets, and data exchange over the network. HTTP Protocol Compliance: Parsing various HTTP request types (e.g., GET, POST) and generating corresponding HTTP responses. Server Configuration: Supporting server customization via configuration files or command-line parameters. Error Handling and Logging: Implementation of error management and logging functionalities for server activities and requests. Security Measures: Basic security measures implemented to address common vulnerabilities. Testing and Documentation: Comprehensive testing to ensure server functionality and detailed documentation provided for usage and understanding.

Purpose:

To deepen understanding of networking, HTTP protocols, and server-side programming concepts. Providing practical experience in building a functional HTTP server from scratch. Encouraging problem-solving and software design skills in a real-world server development scenario.

Usage:

Clone the repository and compile the C++ source code using a compatible C++ compiler. Configure the server using provided configuration files or command-line options. Run the server and interact with it using HTTP client tools or browsers.

Note:

This repository contains an educational project developed as part of the 42 Network's curriculum. Contributions or enhancements aimed at improving server functionality, security, or additional features are welcomed.
