rust-http

Building an HTTP server from scratch in Rust. No frameworks. Standard library only until Phase 5.

Phases

• Phase 1 — Hello TCP
• Phase 2 — Parse the Request
• Phase 3 — Route and Respond
• Phase 4 — Serve Files
• Phase 5 — Concurrency
• Phase 6 — Thread Pool

Run

cargo run

Then in another terminal:

curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8080

Rules

• No Actix, no Axum, no Tokio until Phase 5
• Standard library only
• Read the Rust book when stuck, not before
