Helles

A prototypical web server in C, using a master-worker architecture, leveraging Unix pipes as IPC mechanism.

At the moment it doesn't really work as a HTTP server, since it has a standard reply for every request.

Do not use this in production!

Building it

Use this to build it:

make all

Or this, to build it with debug information output:

make debug

Running it

Build it. Then run this:

./helles 3333

This will boot helles, listening on port 3333.

Change the number of workers

Change N_WORKERS in main.h
