This project is a simple web server implementation using .NET. It was created to study how a web server works and to gain hands-on experience with the .NET framework reguarding ASP.NET. The ultimate goal is to transform this project into a .NET template for creating lightweight servers that can be easily deployed.
- Serves static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images)
- Routes requests based on file extensions
- Handles default document (e.g.,
index.htmlfor root requests) - Basic logging using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
- .NET SDK installed on your machine
- A code editor like Visual Studio Code
- Clone the Repository
$ git clone https://github.com/yourusername/webserver-project.git && cd webserver-project- Run the Server
$ dotnet runThe server will start and listen on a non-privileged port (e.g., 6001). You can access it by navigating to http://localhost:6001 in your web browser.
Directory Structure
`Webserver/`
`Models/`
Contains models used by the server
`wwwroot/`
Contains static files to be served (HTML, CSS, JS, images)
`Program.cs`
Entry point of the application
`Server/`
`Server.cs`
Contains the server logic
`Router.cs`
Contains the routing logic
Sample HTML
Here is a sample HTML file (index.html) to be placed in the wwwroot/ directory:
