# ASM-HTTP
This repository contains implementations of a simple HTTP server written in assembly language for both Windows and Linux environments. The server listens on port 9966 and responds with a basic HTML page.
Now supported handle and parsing the request
## Screenshot
### http://localhost:9966/
### http://localhost:9966/about
## Windows Version
### Requirements
- MASM32 SDK
### Compilation and Usage
1. Save the Windows version code to a file named `server_win.asm`.
2. Open the MASM32 command prompt.
3. Navigate to the directory containing `server_win.asm`.
4. Assemble the code:
```
ml /c /coff start.asm
ml /c /coff pages\index.asm
ml /c /coff pages\about.asm
```
5. Link the object file:
```
link /subsystem:console start.obj index.obj about.obj
```
6. Run the server:
```
start.exe
```
7. Open a web browser and navigate to `http://localhost:9966` to see the server response.
## Linux Version
### Requirements
- NASM (Netwide Assembler)
### Compilation and Usage
1. Save the Linux version code to a file named `server_linux.asm`.
2. Open a terminal.
3. Navigate to the directory containing `server_linux.asm`.
4. Assemble the code:
```
nasm -f elf32 server_linux.asm
```
5. Link the object file:
```
ld -m elf_i386 server_linux.o -o server_linux
```
6. Run the server:
```
./server_linux
```
7. Open a web browser and navigate to `http://localhost:9966` to see the server response.
## Notes
- Both versions listen on port 9966 by default. If you need to change the port, modify the `port` value in the respective assembly files.
- The Linux version is compiled for 32-bit systems. If you're on a 64-bit system, you might need to install 32-bit libraries or adapt the code for 64-bit assembly.
- These servers are intended for educational purposes and are not suitable for production environments without further enhancements.
## Testing
You can test the server using curl:
```
curl http://localhost:9966
```
Or by opening `http://localhost:9966` in a web browser.
## Upcoming
- Multiple handle for other files than index.html (Done)
- Port the request handle to linux server
