multithreaded-server-in-c

This is a very simple multithreaded server written in C, it serves a random file from the "files" directory.

Features:

• Multithreaded, thread-safe.
• Has some expected efficiency requirements, such as using conditional variables instead of busy waiting.
• Has a client.py script where it can be tested.

Limitations:

• It is not a file server in the traditional sense (e.g. you don't specify a file path), it's just a way for me to expreience the socket interface.
• It does not fully implement HTTP.

Getting it Running:

Compile and run the server:

gcc queue.c server.c -o server
./server

Then run the client:

python client.py [NUM_REQUESTS]
