Webserv

Project

The objective of the project was to recreate a complete HTTP server according to RFC standards with a nginx model.
We therefore had to:

• Manage multiple client requests
• Parse these requests
• Send an adequate response

Usage

• Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/vvaucoul/Webserv && cd Webserv

• Compilation

make

• Start Web Server

./webserv [Configuration File]

Default Port: 8081
Default ConfigFile:

server {
	host 127.0.0.1;
	port 8081;
	server_name webserv;

	root ./webSite;

	autoindex on;
	allow_methods GET;
}

Use Config_Simple.wscfg to get full website

./webserv tests/config_simple.wscfg

Then, go to your webbrowser and enter this IP: 127.0.0.1:8081
