HTTP Server

This server is made in python using TCP socket module. Meant as a learning exercise.

• Supports HEAD and GET requests.
• Uses multithreading to serve more than one client at a time using the thread module.
• Looks up for index.html by default if file not specified.
• Gives 200,400 and 404 responses.
• Set to listen to requests on port 8888 on localhost.

Set Up :

• Clone the repository.
• Add files you wish to serve to this repository as this is the base directory.
• Change the port to something else if any other service is using the port 8888.
• Run ./server.py.
• Go to the address localhost:8888/relative/path/of/file using any browser.
