Design Multithreaded web server in C++(Socket programming)

Design a multithreaded http web server in C++ on Linux using socket programming, covering get and post requests, file uploads, and threading with semaphores and pthreads on Ubuntu.

Learn how HTTP works and how to build a simple multithreaded HTTP server from scratch using TCP/IP sockets, including creating, binding, listening, exchanging messages, and closing connections.

Ask your course questions using the Q and A feature, publish them, and receive prompt responses as I answer all queries related to the course.

Bind a socket by assigning an IP address and a port to a server, using sockaddr structures and the bind call, to listen for incoming connections.

Learn how a C++ server listens for and accepts client connections by binding a socket, setting backlog, and using accept to create a client socket and access client IP address.

Build a multithreaded C++ socket server that creates, binds, listens, accepts, and exchanges messages with read, write, send, and recv, while handling client IP addresses and socket shutdown.

Develop a multi-threaded web server in C++ using pthreads and unistd.h to manage connections, with server.h defining http header, 400 bad request, 404 not found, and a whitelist of extensions.

Learn how to declare file extensions with corresponding mime types in C++ for a multithreaded web server, using a content type array and attaching headers to responses.

Explore c++ socket connection handler: parse request type, file path, get data, cookies, and post data; guard thread count with mutex and enforce a 20-connection limit, bad request if exceeded.

Use the course's q and a to ask questions and receive prompt answers from the instructor. Select q and a, type and publish your question, and expect a response.

Learn to extract the request type, file path, and clean file extension from an http request in c++ by parsing spaces, trimming after the extension, and defaulting to index.html.

Develop techniques to extract get data, post data, and cookies in a c++ socket server by parsing the request path, the post body, and cookie data.

Learn to send the requested file to the client using sendfile and write in C++, with multithreaded context, and use header mime types and chunked transmission from a public folder.

Learn how a multithreaded C++ web server handles file uploads: sending and receiving data, parsing multipart form data, content type, content length, and saving uploaded files.

Identify file upload requests via multipart form data, extract size and file name, create an empty file in the public downloads folder, and stream the uploaded content into it.

Test the designed web server by downloading a template, placing it in the public folder, and loading it in a browser to verify delivery and Xender-style file sharing.
