tiny_web_server

A simple yet functional web-server for serving static content only. Server is based on epoll event distribution interface.

Tech

• server uses epoll functionality to process I/O events
• server decouples reception and processing of incoming requests by using an internal thread pool

Installation

Compile

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/dkhvorov/tiny_web_server
cd tiny_web_server
make

By default it compiles with GCC, however you can build it with clang by running that command:

make CC=clang++

Project was tested with the following compilers:

• GCC 4.9.1
• clang 3.5

Run

Use following command to run the application:

./tiny_web_server <port> <path>

You have to specify two parameters - the port to bind and the path to the folder with static content, e.g

./tiny_web_server 8080 /home/larrypage/work/google.com
