Description

Webserv is a high-performance HTTP server built from scratch in C++98. The goal of this project is to deeply understand the mechanics of network protocols and the client-server model by implementing a functional web server capable of handling real-world browser requests.

The server is fully compliant with HTTP/1.0 and provides partial support for HTTP/1.1, focusing on core features required for efficient data communication. By utilizing non-blocking I/O with poll() (or similar multiplexing), the architecture is designed to manage multiple concurrent connections without performance degradation.

Instructions

Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/quinn-sasha/webserv.git
cd webserv

Compile and run the server.

make
./webserv config/default.conf

Server’s IP address is localhost and port number is 8080.

Start sending request after entering telnet:

telnet localhost 8080
