Final Project: Building a Multithreaded Web Server
Build a basic HTTP server from scratch demonstrating systems programming concepts.
Project Components
- TCP connection handling and HTTP request/response parsing
- Thread pool implementation for concurrent request processing
- Low-level networking without frameworks
Production note: Use hyper
, warp
, or axum
for real applications.
Implementation note: We use threads rather than async/await to focus on concurrency fundamentals, though many async runtimes employ thread pools internally.
