Network Programming

C++ implementation of Web server and Multi-Client-Chat server on the Windows environment.

• A simple web server listens for TCP connections, parses HTTP requests, and responds to clients.
• A multi-client-chat server listens for TCP connections, receives messages from a client, and broadcasts to others.

Requirements

• Compliler: MinGW32-g++
• Makefile: MinGW32-make
• Note: if using Microsoft Visual Studio, please uncomment the line // #pragma comment (lib, "ws2_32.lib") in tcp_listener.h file to use library ws2_32.lib

Usage

Note: switch SERVER_TYPE between WEB_SERVER and CHAT_SERVER to change server types. (the line #define SERVER_TYPE (WEB_SERVER) in server.cpp)

> mingw32-make  # build

> mingw32-make clean  # clean

> server  # run server

TODO:

• Apply multi-threading to serve different clients.
