Yo, this is a simple, multithreaded HTTP server implemented from scratch in Python. It's capable of handling multiple client connections concurrently and serving static files.
- Multithreaded: Handles multiple client connections simultaneously.
- Supports GET Requests: Processes HTTP GET requests.
- Serves Static Files: Delivers HTML, images, and other static content.
- Basic Error Handling: Includes responses for 404 Not Found, 501 Not Implemented, 403 Forbidden, and 500 Internal Server Error.
- Content-Type Detection: Automatically determines content type based on file extensions.
- GZIP Compression: Compresses responses for certain file types to improve performance.
- Python 3.x

Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/ngompejason/HTTP-Server.git && cd HTTP-Server
-
Run the Server:
python server/multithreaded_http_server.py
-
Access the Server:
By default, the server will start on 127.0.0.1:8080. You can modify the host and port in the main section of the script if needed. Access the server through a web browser or HTTP client at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
The server is composed of several classes:
TCPServer: Base class for TCP socket operations.HTTPServer: ExtendsTCPServerto handle HTTP-specific operations.HTTPRequest: Parses incoming HTTP requests.
Only Supports GET Requests: POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. are not implemented. No HTTPS Support: The server does not handle HTTPS. Limited Error Handling and Logging: Basic error handling is implemented. No Built-In Security Features: Basic security features are not included.
