webserv is a lightweight HTTP server built from scratch in C++98. It prioritizes efficiency and clean code, adhering to the SOLID principles for ultimate maintainability.
- Non-Blocking I/O (⚡): Handles multiple client connections concurrently using
select()(or equivalent) for maximum server throughput. This means your server can handle a ton of requests at once, keeping things blazing fast! - Proxy Design Pattern (🔄): Encapsulates network communication logic promoting code reusability and making testing a breeze. Think of it as modular magic, making your code easy to understand and maintain. ✨
- Configuration Parsing (⚙️): Reads server configuration from external files, allowing for flexible management with minimal effort. No more hardcoding configurations, just pure flexibility!
- Static File Serving (📁): Efficiently delivers static content (HTML, CSS, images) based on client requests. This means lightning-fast delivery of those essential website elements.
- Dynamic Request Handling (🔄): Supports common HTTP methods (GET, POST, DELETE) for handling dynamic interactions. This makes your server truly versatile, able to handle a wide range of requests.
- Error Handling (❌): Provides user-friendly error messages for invalid requests or server issues. No more cryptic errors, just clear and informative messages for easy troubleshooting.
- SOLID Principles (🔨): Adheres to Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion principles for a well-structured and maintainable codebase. Think of it as the foundation for a code fortress, built to be strong and reliable.
- CGI Integration (🔌): Enables execution of external CGI scripts for server-side processing.
Building webserv has been a rewarding experience, deepening my understanding of:
- Low-level network programming
- System resource management
- Adherence to HTTP protocols
- Applying design patterns and SOLID principles for clean, maintainable code
This project demonstrates my ability to code efficiently while keeping maintainability as a top priority. I believe in building code that not only works well but is also easy to understand and improve upon in the future.
