web-server

web-server

It's based on https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch21-00-final-project-a-web-server.html but with some modifications:

• Each Worker has its own sender and receiver pair, while the original project shares the receiver among all workers.
• Hence, the thread pool chooses threads in a round-robin way rather than relying on the behavior of mpsc::channel().
• Support pressing Ctrl+C to exit.

Usage

Navigate to the project directory and run:

cargo build
./target/debug/web-server

Then it will try listening on port 7878. You can also specify an alternative URL like ./target/debug/web-server localhost:9999.

Open a new terminal and run the client Python script to see the behavior:

python3 web-server/client.py

Finally, press Ctrl+C to exit the server.

Example outputs when the server exited after running the client script twice:
