simple-http

A simple HTTP server implementation in C

Caution

Make sure to have libmagic installed on your system before building the project.

Usage

simple-http [-c <config file>] [-d <directory>] [-h <host>] [-p <port>] [-t <timeout]

By default, the server listens on host 0.0.0.0 port 80 and serves files from ./www

If no arguments are provided, the server will try to load /usr/local/etc/simple-http.conf or /etc/simple-http.conf if the former does not exist.

Options

• -c <config>: Path to configuration file (will ignore other options)
• -d <directory>: Directory to serve files from (default: ./www)
• -h <host>: Host to listen on (default: 0.0.0.0)
• -p <port>: Port to listen on (default: 80)
• -t <timeout>: Timeout in milliseconds (default: 0, no timeout)

Building

First, install the required dependencies:

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libmagic-dev

On other systems, you may need to install libmagic-devel or file-devel instead. Please refer to your package manager's documentation.

Then, build the project:

make
