Webserv

Webserv is an HTTP server built from scratch based on the features of Nginx. This project is part of the 42 Network curriculum and aims to provide hands-on experience with networking, HTTP protocols, multiplexing, and server management.

Features

• HTTP Protocol Handling: Supports GET, POST, and DELETE methods for handling web requests.
• CGI Script Handling: Executes Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts to dynamically generate content.
• Static File Serving: Serves static files (HTML, JS, images) from a specified directory.
• File Uploading: Allows users to upload images to the server.
• Custom Error Pages: Displays user-defined error pages for common HTTP errors (404, 500, etc.).
• Configuration File: Uses a configuration file for server settings, including port, autoindex, and location blocks.
• Logging: Implements logging for incoming requests and errors for easier debugging.
