HTTP Server in C

A minimal HTTP/1.1 file server written from scratch in C using POSIX sockets.

This project implements a basic streaming web server without any external frameworks or libraries. It handles raw TCP connections, parses HTTP requests, and serves static files from a www/ directory.

Features

• Raw POSIX socket programming (socket, bind, listen, accept)
• HTTP request parsing
• Streaming file transfer (chunked send loop)
• Proper Content-Length handling
• Partial send handling (send_all)
• Basic directory traversal protection
