HTTP Server

This is a simple HTTP server for linux operating system written in C. It supports basic HTTP requests, logging, etc.

Features

Handles GET requests for static files.
Supports a control menu for managing server status, logging, and configuration (currently basic).
Uses pthreads for concurrent client handling.
Includes basic logging functionality with timestamps.
Configuration is loaded from a JSON file (server.json).

Prerequisites:
- GCC compiler
- Make (recommended)
- OpenSSL libraries (libssl, libcrypto)
- pthreads library
- cJSON library

Clone the repository (optional):

git clone https://github.com/Azreyo/Http-server  
cd Http-server/

Compile:
```
gcc server.c config_parser.c server_config.c -o server -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread -pthread -lcjson -lcjson -I/usr/include/cjson
```
Compile it in gcc
```
make
```
This command will use the provided Makefile to compile the source files, link the necessary libraries, and create the executable in the bin directory.
```
make clean
```
Cleanup of the unnecessary files after compiling
Create www directory:
```
mkdir www
```
Place your HTML files (e.g., index.html) inside the www directory.
Create server.json:

Create a server.json file in the same directory as the executable with the following structure:
```
{
  "port": 8080,
  "use_https": false,
  "log_file": "server.log",
  "max_threads": 4,
  "running": true
}
```
Adjust the values as needed. use_https is not yet implemented.

ip address

sudo ufw allow 8080 # 8080 is the default port

./bin/server  # Run the executable from the bin directory
