A simple http server, in Rust 🦀

This was a self-learning project I did over a weekend. Do not use it in production! 😊

Inside you will find a single threaded TCP based HTTP server which supports:

• parsing simple HTTP/1.1 requests, including
  • path and query string
  • headers
  • no real BODY support 🤔
• support for serving static files from a public directory, including html and css

I learned a lot implementing this, including:

• how to make and expose different packages
• lifetimes 'buf
• macros and compiler flags
• rust flavor of enums and pattern matching
• How to implement different traits, such as Display
• Various methods for handling different Result and Option outcomes.

Feel free to use any of this code for whatever you like!
