v1.0.1 CMake support

Instructions

1. Compile the Server:
   Ensure you have OpenSSL installed on your system. Then, compile the project using the following commands:
   mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

2. Run the Server:
   ./HttpServer

3. HTTPS Setup:
   Use self-signed certificates for HTTPS support. You can create self-signed certificates using OpenSSL:
   openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -out server.crt

4. Custom Configuration:
   Modify configurations as needed (e.g., port number, static directory).

First Release

First Release (v1.0.0)

I am excited to announce the first release of my C++ HTTP Server! This version includes the following features and improvements:

Features

• Basic HTTP Server: Handles GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.
• Static File Serving: Serve static files from a specified directory with support for common MIME types (HTML, CSS, JS, PNG, JPG).
• HTTPS Support: Secure communication using SSL/TLS with self-signed certificates.
• Request Handling: Efficiently handles multiple concurrent requests using a thread pool.
• Graceful Shutdown: Cleanly shut down the server and complete ongoing requests.
• Modular Structure: Refactored into modular files for better readability and maintainability.

Enhancements

• Improved Logging: Detailed logging for significant events and errors, including timestamps.
• Error Handling: Custom HTML error pages for common HTTP errors (404, 400, 500).

Instructions

• Run the Server: Compile and run the server to start handling requests.
• HTTPS Setup: Use self-signed certificates for HTTPS support.
• Custom Configuration: Modify configurations as needed (e.g., port number, static directory).

Future Plans

I plan to add more features and enhancements in upcoming releases, including:

• Authentication and Authorization
• WebSocket Support
• Monitoring and Metrics

Feedback and contributions are welcome!
