Webserv

A simple C++ HTTP web server implementation following the 42 school project specifications.

🛠️ Build Instructions

This project requires a C++17-compatible compiler.

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/hienptx/42_Mini_Http_Server.git
cd 42_Mini_Http_Server

2. Build the project

make

This compiles all source files in the src/ directory and creates the webserv executable in the project root.

Usage

./webserv webserv.conf

• webserv.conf is the configuration file describing server blocks, ports, routes, etc.
• The format and syntax follow an nginx-style layout.
