# Assembly-Web-Server

![Assembly Icon](https://img.shields.io/badge/x86-Assembly-green?style=for-the-badge&logo=assembly)

This command will assemble the x86 into [ELF64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format) object file format using [nasm](https://www.nasm.us/) (Netwide Assembler)

```bash

nasm -f elf64 server.asm -o server

```

Then we will use [ld](https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/ld-2.9.1/html_mono/ld.html) (GNU linker)

```bash

ld -o server server.o

```

## Running the server

I ran the server with [strace](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strace) so I can see the system-calls while running the server

```bash

strace ./server

```

The output should look something like this

The server is waiting for a connection on port __8080__, so se can go to the web browser on http://localhost:8080 to connect to it or run the following [curl](https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/curl-command-with-examples-linux/#:~:text=Limit%20cURL%20Output-,What%20Is%20cURL%20Command%3F,used%20to%20troubleshoot%20connection%20issues.) command in shell

```bash

curl --output - http://localhost:8080

```
