🖥️C-Website

Warning

This project was created for educational purposes and demonstration only. The code is not production-grade and may have significant limitations, bugs, or security issues.
Do not use this :)

This project aims to create a fully functional website using the C programming language.

✨ Features

• Pure C Implementation: Built using standard C libraries and minimal dependencies
• Simple HTTP Server: Handles basic HTTP requests and serves static content
• Routing System: Maps URLs to file resources

🛠 Requirements

• ⚙️ GCC compiler (clang won`t work)
• 🛠 CMake (version 3.10 or higher)
• 📦 Http Parser Library

🔧 Building

git clone https://github.com/xirzo/WebsiteInC
cd WebsiteInC

mkdir build
cd build

cmake .. --preset=gcc
make

🚀 Usage

After building, set the port env and run the server:

export PORT=5000

./c_website

The server will start on port 5000 by default. You can access the website at http://localhost:5000.

⚙️ How It Works

The router maps the requested URI to a file. Then the server uses a simple HTTP parser to process incoming requests. When a request comes in, the router provides a file path then server reads the file and sends it back as an HTTP response.

Current routes:

• / → index.html
• /style.css → style.css
