Simple HTTP Server

This is very light HTTP server, written on C++, uses a blocking queue to distribute user requests to threads in thread pool.

Build

git clone https://github.com/Michicosun/httpserver

$ cd httpserver
$ rm -rf build
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. -G Ninja
$ ninja httpserver

The executable file will be generated along the path /build/bin

Startup

It is enough just to run the executable file, the 2nd argument is the port on which the server will listen for connections

$ ./bin/httpserver 31337

Also you can insert an additional parameter -e, for more informative logs

$ ./bin/httpserver 31337 -e

Usage

By default server can serve 4 main HTTP requests: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

• GET - returns the file by path
• POST - rewrites file content with data in body section of POST request
• PUT - appends body section of request to file's data
• DELETE - deletes file
