This is a starting point for Go solutions to the "Build Your Own HTTP server" Challenge.

HTTP is the protocol that powers the web. In this challenge, you'll build a HTTP/1.1 server that is capable of serving multiple clients.

Along the way you'll learn about TCP servers, HTTP request syntax, and more.

Note: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to codecrafters.io to try the challenge.

Passing the first stage

The entry point for your HTTP server implementation is in app/server.go. Study and uncomment the relevant code, and push your changes to pass the first stage:

git add .
git commit -m "pass 1st stage" # any msg
git push origin master

Time to move on to the next stage!

Stage 2 & beyond

Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.

1. Ensure you have go (1.19) installed locally
2. Run ./your_server.sh to run your program, which is implemented in app/server.go.
3. Commit your changes and run git push origin master to submit your solution to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.

Testing ultiple requests

Command to send multiple requests at once in parralel to our server:

seq 10 | xargs -I{} -P10 curl -v -X GET http://localhost:4221/echo/second

Another way:

oha http://localhost:4221
