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!
