A Simple Webserver Written in C
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This is a simple webserver written in the C programming language.
|
|
|
|
It uses a pool of 10 connections to serve multiple requests concurrently and it keeps track of how much data it has output, printing it to the standard output stream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling and Using the System
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
On a Linux system system simply use the makefile to compile the server.
|
|
|
|
On a Mac use this command to compile the server:
|
|
|
|
`gcc server.c -o server`
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run the server type ./server into a terminal that is in the directory where the executable file is located.
|
|
|
|
By default the server runs on port 2001, so to try it out navigate to
|
|
|
|
localhost:2001 in a webbrowser
