# HTTP Server
A HTTP server implementation in Python using TCP protocol for Socket communication. This server is able to handle GET and POST requests
## Requirements
- Python 3.x
## Usage
1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/simple-http-server.git
```
2. Navigate to the directory containing the `main.py` file:
```bash
cd http-server
```
3. Run the server:
```bash
python main.py
```
4. The HTTP server will run on port 4221. You can check for server connection by running
the following command on a different terminal.
```bash
nc -vz 127.0.0.1 4221
```
5. To perform a POST request, make sure the server is running and on a different terminal run
the following command.
```bash
curl -vvv -d "Greetings from the second terminal" localhost:4221/files/readme.txt
```
You should see a new file "readme.txt" created in your project directory with the content as the content being passed in the POST request.
## Customization
- You can customize the behavior of the server by modifying the `main.py` file. For example, you can add support for other HTTP methods, or implement additional functionality.
