Created byEzeuko Emmanuel
Last updated 11/2022
English

What you'll learn

  • Learn to design a fully functional, standard and stable http server that can be accessed over the internet using a practical c++ project
  • student will learn how to design web server apps like xender, file sharing apps and chat servers using c++
  • The student will learn how to implement http server networking functions like bind(), accept(), socket(), listen()
  • Learn by practice, how socket programming in C++ works using Linux and their implementations on http server development
  • The students, will have a good understanding of system programming in linux and also use the OPEN system call to develop an http web server in c++

Course content

1 section • 17 lectures • 3h 34m total length

  • Introduction, what to expect in this course3:01
  • download course materials
  • How networking sockets are created in C++14:36

    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.

  • message me for help0:58
  • How to bind a network socket to a port and an IP address in c++20:45

    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.

  • Listening and accepting connections from client in c++17:48
  • read(), write(), send(), recv(), sendfrom(), shutdown(), close( ) in c++18:46
  • multi-threading our web server in c++18:35
  • Declaring acceptable file extensions and their mime type in c++8:37
  • The connection handler and getStr() method in c++19:07

    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.

  • message me for help0:58
  • Extracting request file path, request file extension and request type in c++18:47
  • Extracting GET data, POST data and COOKIES in c++17:21
  • How to send requested file to the client using sendfile() and write() in c++15:38
  • Understanding file Upload request in c++9:29
  • How to identify file upload request, accept and store uploaded files in c++23:29

    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.

Requirements

  • This projects works on LINUX, to implement on windows requires a different header files.

Description

In this course we will design a multi-threaded HTTP web server in C++ using socket programming in Linux.

at the end of this course the student will have a good grasp of system programming and also :

1. how HTTP web server processes file request from clients in c++.

2. How the server can handle multiple accept request and  concurrent connections using multi-threading in c++.

3. How uploaded files are received , assembled and stored on the server and how the server sends requested file back to the client in c++.

4. how the server receives request and differentiates the different types of request (GET, POST) in c++

5.  how to fetch and store GET DATA, POST DATA and COOKIES on the server in c++.

6. You also learn about multi-threading using POSIX thread and how semaphores are used to apply lock in c++.

7. the difference between a web server , chat server, and other types of servers in c++.

8. How to implement networking library functions like accept(), bind(), listen(), socket() in c++

9. How the server accesses IP address of the client using the inet_ntop() function in c++.

10. Learn System programming- how to use system calls in Linux, here we used the OPEN system call in c++.

11. Learn System programming- File handling , how to create, read, write , receive and send files in Linux in c++.
