Usage

Installation:

  git clone https://github.com/GSantoine/webserv.git
  cd webserv
  make
  ./webserv <CONFIG FILE> (you can use by default the example config file : config_files/default.conf)

You can now access it on your browser on the ip and port specified in the config file you launched the server with

Server config file

You can configure you server by modifying the config file it runs with (config files structure and rules are very much inspired by Nginx)
Here is an example of a config file :

server {
	listen: 127.0.0.1:8080
	server_name:example.com
	client_max_body_size : 1000000
	index: index.html
	error_page: 404 /error_pages/404.html
	root : html
	allowed_methods: GET POST

	location /assets/ {
		autoindex:on
	}

	location /error_pages/ {
		autoindex:on
		root:html_test_root
	}

	location /test {
		rewrite: 302 /
	}

	location /assets/uploaded_files/totoro.jpg {
		allowed_methods: DELETE
	}
}

server {
	listen: 127.0.0.1:8081
	server_name:agras.com
	root: html_test_root
	index:index.html
	
}

server {
	listen: 127.0.0.1:8081
	server_name:agras.com
	index:index.html
}


server {
	listen: 127.0.0.1:8082
	server_name:agras.com
	autoindex:on
}
