WebServer

A multi-threaded (e.g. file-based) web server with thread-pooling implemented in Java. This repository is a fork from ibogomolov/WebServer. I extended this project and documented the code.

---

I have done the following changes

• Documented the code.
• Created a license (MIT-license)
• Changed the README.md
• Verification of the command-line arguments in the main(...)-method. Checks whether the command-line arguments are in the proper form. Otherwise it raise a certain error-message.
• Changed the close()-method in the Server-class. For shutdown the thread pool with a while-loop.
• Created a useful constructor in the class HttpRequest.
• Added a simple GUI for controlling the server.
• Added a new .jar file called WebServerGUI.jar
• I changes only the .java-files and the binaries .class files and the .jar file.

Usage of the console server

You simply type in the console:

chmod +x WebServer.jar

after that

./WebServer.jar

This starts the web server under http://localhost:8080 with working-directory wwwroot.
In addition you can given some command-line arguments:

./WebServer.jar <port> <working-directory> <max number of threads>

It must be three arguments in the order above.

Using of the gui server

You simply type in the console:

chmod +x WebServerGUI.jar

after that

./WebServerGUI.jar

This starts the GUI for the webserver. (Swing-GUI)
