HTTP Server

This is a simple proof of concept of a HTTP server written in Go.

How to run

  1. Install Go
  2. Clone this repository with git clone https://github.com/Arpan-206/my-http-server.git
  3. Run ./your_server.sh --directory /tmp/ to start the server

How to connect

There are many routes you can connect to. Here are some examples:

  1. GET request to http://localhost:4221/ will return a 200 status code without content.
  2. GET request to http://localhost:4221/echo/{some_text} will return a 200 status code with the text you provided.
  3. GET request to http://localhost:4221/user_agent will return a 200 status code with the user agent of the request.
  4. GET request to http://localhost:4221/files/{file_name} will return a 200 status code with the content of the file you provided.
  5. POST request to http://localhost:4221/files/{file_name} with a body will create a file with the content of the body and return a 200 status code.

How to look around the code

To look around the code, you can open the app/server.go file. This is where the server is defined and the routes are set up. Rest of the files are just helper files.
