This is a minimalist webserver which supports responding to basic GET requests for txt, ico & pdf files. It supports handling concurrent requests using multithreading.

1. First add the content that you want to have the ability of serving to the /content directory.

2. Run the following commands on the terminal:

make
./server <port-you-want-to-run-on>

The server provides a default response, when no url parameters are passed. This response is stored int the hello.txt file. Please change if needed.

If you want to run the server in a debugging session,

1. Clone repo

git clone https://github.com/haathim/CN2-WebServer.git
cd CN2-WebServer
#checkout to correct branch (if not already)
git checkout multithread

2. Build the debug binary

make server-dbg

3. Run GDB

gdb ./server-dbg
#set neccassary breakpoints
(gdb) run <port-you-want-to-run-on> 

Please note that is not a webserver developed for production use cases.
