A versatile and efficient C++ web server featuring non-blocking sockets, CGI support, and HTTP functionalities.
Developed using
- Non-Blocking Sockets: Utilizes non-blocking socket programming to handle multiple simultaneous connections without the need for multi-threading.
- HTTP Methods: Supports GET, POST, and DELETE requests, allowing it to serve, accept, and delete data respectively.
- CGI Support: CGI support to execute programs and scripts (
.pyonly), enabling dynamic content generation. - Directory Listing: Automatically lists the contents of a directory when no index file is found.
- Error Pages: Appropriate error responses/status codes (like 200, 404 or 500). For valid/invalid requests.
- Redirection: Supports HTTP redirections.
- Logger: Includes a comprehensive logging system to track requests, responses, and server information.
- Virtual Hosts: Virtual hosting allows multiple domains to be hosted from a single server config.
- UI for Testing: A basic yet visually appealing UI is provided to test and demonstrate server functionality.
- Documentation: All functions have doxygen comments to ensure readability and to better understand the underlying logic at a glance.
