About the project

IronServer is a minimal dynamic server for linux written in C++. I created this project for fun, and for having a deeper understanding of C++ and the HTTP protocol. The Project has no dependencies, except the std-libraries and a modern C++-Compiler such as g++ or clang++.

Getting started

Usage

First download the project using git, then compile it and start editing the server.

1. Download it using git clone https://github.com/ironblockhd/ironServer.git
2. cd into the cloned directory. Compile the server using make, then run it using make run. Test it in your browser by going on localhost:8080
3. You can either use the inbuilt way, by editing src/server/server.cpp, then running make clean && make to recompile it and make run to run it, or you can include src/main/server.h. Use the documentation.
