002 : WEBSERV

Description:

"Webserv" is a remarkable team project that I undertook to develop a custom web server from the ground up. This ambitious endeavor served as a testament to our skills and expertise in system-level programming and network architecture. It was a significant undertaking, reflecting our commitment to hands-on learning and the mastery of complex technologies. We drew inspiration from Nginx, a leading web server software, to shape our approach.

Technical Details:

  • Custom Web Server: The core objective of "Webserv" was to create a custom web server, meticulously designed and developed to serve web content efficiently and securely.
  • Network Architecture: As a team, we were responsible for architecting the entire web server network, ensuring it could handle HTTP requests and responses effectively. This involved building a robust infrastructure to serve web content to clients.
  • HTTP Parser: A crucial component of the project was the creation of a highly capable HTTP parser. This parser was essential for interpreting and processing HTTP requests from clients, enabling the server to respond appropriately.

Key Achievements:

  • Collaborative Web Server Development: "Webserv" serves as evidence of our collective ability to create a custom web server, illustrating our skills in network architecture and system-level programming. This accomplishment highlighted our proficiency in designing and deploying complex network systems.
  • HTTP Request Handling: The development of the HTTP parser showcased our expertise in handling and interpreting HTTP requests, a pivotal skill for the proper functioning of a web server.
  • In-Depth System Understanding: Successfully executing the "Webserv" project required an in-depth understanding of system administration, network protocols, and server architecture. It demonstrated our collective capability to navigate intricate technologies and implement them effectively.

Used Technologies:

  • C++98

"Webserv" stands as a significant milestone in our journey as developers and system administrators. It is a reflection of our dedication to mastering complex technologies and applying that knowledge to practical, real-world projects.
