http1-server

This repository provides a simple implementation of an HTTP/1.1 server using TCP connections.

The core implementation is located in the internal folder, while the cmd/httpserver directory contains a basic usage example.

The main TCP connection data reading implementation resides in the internal folder, which includes:

• server package - for server creation
• request package - for reading incoming requests
• headers package - handles request header parsing logic (used by both request and response packages)
• response package - manages server response logic

The response writer package also includes support for:

• A simplified version of chunked encoding
• HTTP trailers

How to run it

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/lealre/http1-server.git

Access the project folder

cd http1-server

Start the server

go run ./cmd/httpserver

This will start the server at localhost:42069.

You can access the following endpoints in your browser:

• /bad - Simple HTML example
• /error - Simple HTML example
• /httpbin/ - A proxy to httpbin endpoints for testing chunked encoding
• /video - A simple example of responding with binary data instead of text
