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.
- 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
- Language: C++
- Networking: Sockets
- Concurrency: Select/Poll-based handling
- Build System: Makefile
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/zyunusov-zy/webserv.git cd webserv - Compile the server:
make
- Run the server with a configuration file:
./webserv config/default.conf
- Access the server in your browser at
http://localhost:8080(or as specified in the configuration file).
Webserv uses a configuration file similar to Nginx. You can define:
- Listening ports
- Root directories for serving files
- CGI scripts
- Error pages
- Request limits
Since Webserv is compiled using Makefile, it can be deployed on any Unix-based system with minimal setup.
