HTTP-Server-In-C-

A simple and lightweight HTTP server written in C.

Features

• TCP socket creation
• Binding to a port
• Listening for incoming connections
• Accepting client connections
• Receiving HTTP requests into a buffer
• HTTP request parsing (request line and headers)
• Parse result handling (200, 400, 413, 505, fallback 500)
• Sending HTTP responses

Usage

Compile on Linux:

gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic src/main.c src/socket_io.c src/http_response.c src/parser.c -o server
./server

Compile on Windows with MinGW:

gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic src/main.c src/socket_io.c src/http_response.c src/parser.c -o server -lws2_32
server.exe

Then open http://localhost:8000 in a browser or use curl http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Notes

• This server is minimal and intended for learning, not production use.
• It currently supports basic HTTP request receipt and sending a fixed HTML response.
• The code now builds on both Windows and Linux.
