Socket Routing Project: A Simple HTTP Server
Hey everyone! 👋
Today, I want to share a simple project I worked on: the Socket Routing Project. It’s a basic HTTP server that routes requests to different files on the server.
What’s This All About? 🤔
The main goal was to create a server that listens for incoming requests and serves the right files back to the user. It’s a great starting point for understanding how web servers work and how requests are handled.
Features 🎉
- It can handle basic HTTP requests.
- Routes requests to the appropriate files on the server.
- It even works with CSS files.
- Includes error handling if a file isn’t found.
Why Build It? 💡
I built this project to get a better understanding of how HTTP requests are processed and routed. It’s a hands-on way to explore server functionality and error management.
I also wanted to work with a lower level language, where I would have to manually handle things. C is excellent for this and was a great learning experience.
Final Thoughts ðŸ’
This project may be simple, but it’s a perfect stepping stone for anyone wanting to learn more about how web servers work. I had a lot of fun building it, and I’m excited to keep experimenting with new features in the future!
Thanks for reading! 😄
