http-client-server

A simple pure C http client and server.

C HTTP Client-Server for linux

An implementation of the HTTP client and server for the computer networking course.

Compiling

Both client and server are built by running the Makefile just like this:

~/server$ make

Running

Client

The client will request a file to the HTTP server and save it on a folder named after the server name. The syntax for running it is:

~/client$ ./client hostname:port/requested_file output_file
  • If the output_file is not specified the client will save it with the name of the file requested to the server.
  • If the requested_file is not specified the client will request the root directory of the server.
  • If the port is not specified the client will run over the port 80

Server

This is a server witch allows simultaneous connections by forking them into child process. It's syntax is:

~server$ ./server directory
  • If the directory is not specified the server will run on the folder www.
  • The server runs on the port 8080
