## 📒 **About**
This project guides you in building a C++ HTTP server, offering a practical understanding of the HTTP protocol.
Test your server with real browsers and delve into the fundamentals of networking.
Gain insights into web security while creating a functional web server, even if web development isn't your primary focus.
Webserv provides a hands-on, educational experience for anyone interested in the core technologies of the internet.
## 🎥 **Demo**
## 📦 **Compilation**
To compile the webserver you should run `make` with the configuration file of your choice.
This rule will generate a `webserv` file, which is the zipped version of all the object files.
To launch the executable you should follow this syntax...
```sh
$ ./webserv config_file/server.conf
```
Where `config_file/server.conf` is the name of a file that represents the configuration of the webserver.
You can find example of configuration files in the `config_files` folder.
## 🕹️ **Configuration File rules**
```bash
Server {
root /absolute/path;
index index.html; # optional
autoindex true; # optional, default is false
server_name _; # optional
listen 0.0.0.0:8080; # optional IP, default is 0.0.0.0:8080
client_max_body_size 1M; # optional, default is 1M
upload_store /path/to/uploaded/files; # optional, default is /uploads
error_page 404 /relative/path/to/error/page.html; # optional
location /delete/ {
# root /path/to/root;
# index index_file.html;
# autoindex false/true;
# allow_methods GET POST DELETE;
}
location .py {
# path to executable
cgi_pass /absolute/path/to/executable;
}
}
```
