A simple multithreaded HTTP server implemented in C. This server is capable of serving static files from a designated directory and handling multiple client connections concurrently. I certainly plan on improving this project, as I plan on using it for one of my other projects.

Features

• Serve static files (HTML, CSS, JS from the www/ directory).
• Multithreaded to handle multiple clients simultaneously.
• Simple logging to track server activity.

Prerequisites

• GCC or any compatible C compiler.
• make utility for building the project.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/zeusssz/sputnik-c.git
   cd my_http_server

2. Build the server:

   make

Usage

1. Run the server:

   make run

   The server will start on port 8080. You can change the port by editing the run rule in the Makefile.

2. Access the server: Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to see the served static files.

Configuration

• Static Files: Place your static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) in the www/ directory.
