Simple Multithreaded Webserver

A simple multithreaded HTTP/1.0 compliant toy webserver written in C++ for Windows.

Usage

The server only serves static content, so currently POST requests result in a 501 Not Implemented response. The settings can be configured in server_settings.h:

• LISTEN_PORT: the port the server listens on.
• SERVE_ROOT: path to the root directory of the server.
• MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_CONNECTIONS: the number of threads in the thread pool.

Layout

• main.cpp contains the main socket loop, and the basic thread pool implementation.
• http_server.cpp contains the actual HTTP server implementation.
• sockets.cpp abstracts Windows' socket stuff.

TODO

• Support HTTP/1.1
