HTTP is the protocol that powers the web. In this "Build Your Own HTTP server" Challenge, I built a multithreaded HTTP/1.1 server in C that is capable of serving multiple clients.
check out CodeCrafters programming challenges and get a free week using my referral link. I will get one too.
The entry point for the HTTP server implementation is in app/server.c.
# compile the server
gcc -lz -lcurl app/*.c -o server
# start the server
./server --directory /tmp/- Bind to a port
