Tiny Web Server

A simple, iterative HTTP/1.0 Web server that uses the GET method to serve static and dynamic content.

Overview

It's a simple web server that combines many of the ideas such as process control, Unix I/O, the sockets interface, and HTTP. While it lacks the functionality, robustness, and security of a real server, it is powerful enough to serve both static and dynamic content to real Web browsers.

Requirements

• linux
• git
• gcc
• make
