HTTP Server

Ramsey Kant https://github.com/RamseyK/httpserver

A high performance, single threaded, HTTP/1.1 server written in C++ to serve as a kqueue socket management and HTTP/1.1 protocol learning tool on BSD systems

Features

• Clean, documented code
• Efficient socket management with kqueue
• Easy to understand HTTP protocol parser (from my ByteBuffer project)
• Tested on FreeBSD and macOS

Compiling

• BSD-based systems with a C++23 compatible compiler are supported. Linux may work when libkqueue is compiled from Github sources and linked, but this is unsupported.
• On FreeBSD, compile with gmake

Usage

$ cat server.config 
vhost=10.0.10.86,acme.local
port=8080
diskpath=./htdocs

$ ./httpserver 
Primary port: 8080, disk path: ./htdocs
vhost: 10.0.10.86
vhost: acme.local
Server ready. Listening on port 8080...
