Create a basic HTTP server from scratch in C++.
make: Creates and starts two containers. One with webserv connected to port8080and another for testing purposes with Nginx connected to port8181.make cat_log_webserv: Displays webserv log file. It lists every connection and HTTP request received.make ps: View images, running containers, and volumes.make it_webserv: Enters the webserv container in interactive mode.make start: Starts containers.make stop: Stops containers.make down: Stops and deletes containers and their images.make fclean: Stops and deletes ALL containers (Note that this will delete all your other containers, if any).- Other commands are available in the Makefile.
The configuration file is located in srcs/requirements/conf/webserv.conf
cd client_test
make
./client_test <port>Compiles and starts the test client on the port passed as an argument. By default, use 8080 to send to webserv and 8181 to nginx.
Use client_test/http_request.txt to customise your HTTP request.
- Choose the port and host of each server.
- Setup the
server_namesor not. - The first server for
host:portwill be the default one. - Setup default error pages.
- Limit client body size.
- For routes:

- Define a HTTP redirection
- Define a root directory
- 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
- Make it work with POST and GET methods
- Make the route able to accept uploaded files and configure where they should be saved
