Multithreaded HTTP Server
Built a multithreaded HTTP server in C from scratch, with compression support in progress. Rewriting in Rust for improved memory safety and performance.
The Problem
Understanding how web servers work at a low level is fundamental for backend development. This project builds an HTTP server from scratch to learn about networking, concurrency, and protocol implementation.
Solution
This HTTP server implementation provides:
- Full HTTP/1.1 compliance
- Multithreading for concurrent request handling
- Static file serving
- Basic routing capabilities
- Header parsing and response generation
- Gzip compression support (in progress)
- Rewriting in Rust for memory safety and performance
