SimpleHTTPServer

The following is a list of the proposed features of the HTTP server:

Core Goals:

• handling requests with subprocesses (using fork)
• handling requests with threads (using pthreads)
• gathering file resources for responses (using dirent)
• correctly handing common status codes (200, 400, 404, 500)
• data structure for managing the filesystem

Optional Goals:

• support for common gateway interface (possibly using pipe)
• checking authorization (status codes 401, 403)
• handling HTTP methods beyond GET and HEAD
• configuration files based on YAML (also includes JSON)
