A simple multithreaded HTTP server implemented in C. This server is capable of serving static files from a designated directory and handling multiple client connections concurrently. I certainly plan on improving this project, as I plan on using it for one of my other projects.

Features

  • Serve static files (HTML, CSS, JS) from the www/ directory.
  • Multithreaded to handle multiple clients simultaneously.
  • Simple logging to track server activity.
  • Configurable via the Makefile.

Prerequisites

  • GCC or any compatible C compiler.
  • make utility for building the project.

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/zeusssz/sputnik-c.git
cd my_http_server

  2. Build the server:

    make

Usage

  1. Run the server:

    make run

    The server will start on port 8080. You can change the port by editing the run rule in the Makefile.

  2. Access the server: Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to see the served static files.

Configuration

  • Static Files: Place your static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) in the www/ directory.
  • Logs: Server logs are stored in the logs/ directory.

Cleaning Up

  • Remove binaries and object files:

    make clean

  • Remove log files:

    make clean-logs
