Webserv

Overview

Webserv is a lightweight HTTP server built in C++, designed to mimic the functionality of Nginx. It supports handling HTTP requests, serving static files, CGI execution, and multiple client connections. The server is easily deployable using a Makefile.

Features

✅ Completed Features:

• HTTP request handling (GET, POST, DELETE)
• Serving static files
• CGI support for dynamic content
• Multiple client connections
• Custom error pages
• Configurable through a configuration file
• Logging and request parsing
• Makefile for easy compilation and deployment

Tech Stack

• Language: C++
• Networking: Sockets
• Concurrency: Select/Poll-based handling
• Build System: Makefile

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/zyunusov-zy/webserv.git
   cd webserv

2. Compile the server:

   make

3. Run the server with a configuration file:

   ./webserv config/default.conf

4. Access the server in your browser at http://localhost:8080 (or as specified in the configuration file).

Configuration

Webserv uses a configuration file similar to Nginx. You can define:

• Listening ports
• Root directories for serving files
• CGI scripts
• Error pages
• Request limits

Deployment

Since Webserv is compiled using Makefile, it can be deployed on any Unix-based system with minimal setup.
