Particle Web Server

An attempt at an unbloated, minimalist web server.

Building

Run these commands to create a HTTP (unsecured) web server binary:

make  # 'make' will create the binary 'server'.

To create a secure HTTPS server run these commands:

patch < patches/libressl.diff       # Apply the LibreSSL patch.
edit config.h                       # Edit the configuration (enter your certificate details in here).
make                                # 'make' will create the binary 'server'.

You will need to change the 'TLSKeyFile' and 'TLSCertFile' constants to your certificate paths. See config.h for more details.

Quick Start

Starting a HTTP server:

./server  # Start the server on the default port 80. 

Starting a HTTPS server:

./server -p 443  # Start the server on port 443.
