Project Description

The task is to program a simple HTTP server with support for different content generators. The tool will implement:

• Providing content of the following kind:
• Static content (a specific file).
• Listing of directory content (if enabled in the settings).
• Running a script (e.g. sh, c, c++, ...).
• Sending a signal to exit the server.
• Non-existent page. The server will allow:
• Retrieving static files using the GET method.
• Saving static files using the POST method. The tool will be configurable from a file:
• Network parameters (IP address, port, and more).
• Restrictions on working with specific directories (configuration includes mapping individual directories to addresses).
• Logging of traffic to the log.
• Definition of extensions for scripting.
• Address (or method) for shutting down the server.
