This is a starting point for Rust solutions to the "Build Your Own HTTP server" Challenge.

HTTP is the protocol that powers the web. In this challenge, you'll build a HTTP/1.1 server that is capable of serving multiple clients.

Along the way you'll learn about TCP servers, HTTP request syntax, and more.

Note: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to codecrafters.io to try the challenge.

  • ✅ TCP Connection Bind on port of choice
  • ✅ HTTP protocol parsing
    • Path variables
    • Headers
    • Body
    • Query parameters
  • ✅ Request parsing and Response writing lifecycle
  • ✅ Concurrency and parallel processing through multithreading
  • ✅ A dynamic router implementation
