Introduction

This project is an implementation of an HTTP server from scratch using Rust. The server is capable of handling dynamic requests and multiple requests concurrently using threads.

Key Features

• 🔧 Built entirely from scratch, no external HTTP libraries
• 🦀 Leverages Rust's safety and concurrency features
• 🌐 Implements core HTTP/1.1 functionalities
• 🚦 Handles multiple concurrent connections efficiently
• 📚 Educational resource for understanding HTTP internals and Rust networking

Usage

To run the server, execute the following command:

cargo run

The server will start running on 127.0.0.1:4221.

To test the server, open a browser and navigate to

curl -v http://localhost:4221/echo/test

Response
