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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
