🌐🌐 HTTP Server in C 🌐🌐

Overview

This project is a work-in-progress HTTP server implemented in C using Winsock. I aim to provide a flexible and customizable framework for handling HTTP requests and responses. Users will be able to add their own routes and handle functions to extend the server's capabilities.

Features

• Modular Design: Allows users to add custom routes and request handlers.
• Configurable Settings: Users can set their desired port number and other parameters.

Current Limitations 🔒🔒

• Maximum characters for HTTP header keys: 256
• Maximum characters for HTTP header values: 1024
• Maximum number of HTTP headers per request: 100
• Maximum number of routes the server can handle: 100
• Maximum length of the URL: 2000

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Windows operating system
• Visual Studio or another C compiler that supports Winsock

Usage

• Its recomended to visual studio and its c++ compiler

• Download the latest release and open the .sln file for testing

• For personal use get the source code from the "source" folder and import them in your project

• Configure

// Choose a port for the server to run on

#include "server.h"

int main() {
   ServerConfig config = {.port = 6999};
}

• Endpoints

// Add your handle functions
void index(HttpContext* context)
{
	
	HttpStatus status = OK;
	Response response = {
		.body="This is the Index endpoint",
		.contentType=CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT_PLAIN,
		.status=OK
	};
	context->response=&response;
}

void user(HttpContext* context)
{
	
	HttpStatus status = OK;
	context->response->status = status;
	context->response->contentType = CONTENT_TYPE_APPLICATION_JSON;
	strcpy(context->response->body, "User deleted");
}

• Add your endpoints to the config and run

// Add and run
int main()
{
	ServerConfig config = {.port = 6999};
	
	add(DELETE, "/user", user, &config);

	add(GET, "/index", index, &config);

	run(&config);
}
