Implementation of Multi-Threaded Web Server

A Multi-threaded web server that allows queuing and scheduling of various HTTP requests according to FCFS and SJF scheduling policies, along with synchronization to prevent race conditions and thread pool to facilitate multithreading

To Compile myhttpd-: g++ -w myhttpd.cpp -lpthread

To Run-: ./a.out

Modify the execute file according to :

myhttpd [−d] [−h] [−l file] [−p port] [−r dir] [−t time] [−n threadnum] [−s sched]

−d : Enter debugging mode. That is, do not daemonize, only accept one connection at a time and enable logging to stdout. Without this option, the web server should run as a daemon process in the background.

−h : Print a usage summary with all options and exit

−l file : Log all requests to the given file. See LOGGING for details

−p port : Listen on the given port. If not provided, myhttpd will listen on port 8080

−r dir : Set the root directory for the http server to dir

−t time : Set the queuing time to time seconds. The default should be 60 seconds

−n threadnum: Set number of threads waiting ready in the execution thread pool to threadnum. The default should be 4 execution threads

−s sched : Set the scheduling policy. It can be either FCFS or SJF. The default will be FCFS.
