Gurgs HTTP server, adapted from the server i wrote for my dissertation

G-HTTPD

Gurgs HTTP server, a cross-platform high performance, multithreaded HTTP response server. I wrote this server as part of my dissertation. This server is still in its infancy and as such, only supports HTTP 200 requests. Also contains a minimal tcp client to test the server with.

Current Features

• Multithreaded

• Leverages EPOLL/KQUEUE system calls to achieve high throughput and low latency.

• Basic HTTP response that can be used for benchmarking clients or hardware.

Planned Features

• Extend it to support more HTTP responses.

• Extend it to serve HTML and CSS from files on disk. (In Progress)

• Implement better performance tracking features.

How To Use

cd src

gcc -o ghttpd -pthread ghttpd.c

./ghttpd <threads> <HTTP response size> <EPOLL timeout>

This will run the server on port 1234 on all available interfaces.
