CODAM project Curriculum.
This project is about writing an HTTP server using C++98 standard. HTTP is one of the most used protocols on the internet.
This is a group project developed by A. Heister, H. Lin & D. Salamanca
Some requirements for this project included:
- Your program has to take a configuration file as argument, or use a default path.
- It must be non-blocking and use only 1 poll() (or equivalent) for all the I/O operations between the client and the server (listen included).
- A request to your server should never hang forever.
- You server must have default error pages if none are provided.
- You must be able to serve a fully static website.
- Clients must be able to upload files.
- You need at least GET, POST, and DELETE methods.
- Your server must be able to listen to multiple ports:
- Choose the port and host of each "server".
- Set up the server_names or not.
- The first server for a
host:portwill be the default for thishost:port - Setup default error pages.
- Limit client body size.
- Setup routes with one or multiple of the following rules/configuration (routes won't
be using regexp):
- Define a list of accepted HTTP methods for the route.
- Define an HTTP redirection.
- Define a directory or a file from where the file should be searched.
- Turn on or off directory listing.
- Set a default file to answer if the request is a directory.
- Execute CGI based on certain file extension (for example .php).
Be sure you have siege installed in your computer for the stress tests.
- Clone the repository
git clone [email protected]:ingdicath/Webserv.git - Go into folder
cd Webserv - Type in the terminal
make
1. Without printing out request and response headers:
- Using a configuration file included by default in the program:
./webserv - Using other configuration file:
./webserv [configuration file]
2. Printing out request and response headers on the terminal using a debug flag:
- For the default configuration file:
./webserv --debug - For other configuration file:
./webserv [configuration file] --debug
