This repository contains a simple HTTP server written in Rust. The server uses a handmade thread pool to handle incoming TCP connections and serve HTTP responses.
- Multithreaded server using a thread pool
- Basic HTTP GET request handling
- Static file serving
The project is divided into two main parts:
src/lib.rs: Contains the implementation of theThreadPoolstruct, which manages a pool of worker threads. Each worker thread waits for jobs (functions/closures) to be sent via a channel, and executes them when they arrive.src/main.rs: Contains the main server logic. It sets up a TCP listener, accepts incoming connections, and dispatches them to the thread pool for processing. It also includes a basic HTTP request handler.
This project was created for educational purposes. It serves as a practical example of a multithreaded HTTP server implemented in Rust. It is not intended for production use.
To run the server, use the following command:
cargo runThe server will start listening on 127.0.0.1:7878. You can test it by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:7878 in your web browser, or using a tool like curl.
