# Isaka\1.0 Server
## Overview
This project provides a basic server implementation that handles incoming connections and serves a simple HTML response. Currently, the server returns a "Hello, World!" message when accessed. Future versions will include additional features and enhancements.
## Getting Started
Follow these steps to get the server up and running:
### Prerequisites
1. **Operating System:** Ensure you are using a Unix-based operating system (e.g., Linux, macOS).
2. **Development Tools:** Make sure you have the necessary build tools installed, such as `clang++` and `make`.
### Installation
1. **Clone the Repository**
Open a terminal and run the following command to clone the project repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/isaka-james/server.git
```
2. **Navigate to the Project Directory**
Change to the project directory:
```bash
cd server
```
### Building the Project
1. **Compile the Source Code**
Use Makefile to compile the project. If a Makefile is provided, you can run:
```bash
make
```
### Running the Server
1. **Start the Server**
After successful compilation, run the server executable:
```bash
./server
```
The server will start and listen on port 8080.
If you want to run the server on your custom port then just run `./server `
2. **Access the Server**
Open a web browser or use a tool like `curl` to access the server:
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080
```
You should see the "Hello, World!" message displayed.
### Stopping the Server
To stop the server, simply terminate the running process. This can usually be done by pressing `Ctrl + C` in the terminal where the server is running.
## Future Enhancements
The server will be improved with additional features and functionalities in future updates. These may include:
- Enhanced request handling
- Improved performance and scalability
- Advanced response types and content
- Integration with additional services and protocols
Stay tuned for more updates and features!
