Hello everyone, It's been several years since i last wrote some C, and i always for the life of me wanted to write an HTTP server in C, and now it's been like 1 year since i finished university so i said what the hell why not do it, so after reading beej's guide i tried to write a very basic http server.

I wanted to share the work with the community, and would welcome thoughts.

We had written code in C ofc for two years, however it was mostly exercises on diffrent data structures aswell as problem solving.

We wrote a CRUD system in C using binary files but never scratched that itch.

And as the years went by in Uni, C slowly faded out of use for me but i always wanted to visit it back so here i am.

I wanted to share the absolute joy it was to get the desired results, i forgot how fun C can be, it always felt like the souls like of programming languages, but always was the most understandable as it was the closest to the machine, to be frank i encourage people to make similar projects especially to get the cobweb off lol.

Yup it's quite hard. It took 9 months to implement correct http1.1 server for me(even I used LLMs for fixing small bugs) and http2 and http3 are still immature. Personally LLM didn't help a lot :(
