Create a functional HTTP/1.0 server

[Rasheed]

Hi All,
i have to Create a functional HTTP/1.0 server. Server will be
hosting files which on request by client should be transferred to
them.

so can any body tell me how to start this.

i did some R & D on Winhttp functionality.

ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.WIN32COM.v10.en/winhttp/
http/winhttpreceiveresponse.htm

but it seems like a perticular URL checking.

but i have to create a HTTP Server. so can any body help me out.

regards,
Rasheed.

WinHTTP is a http client, not a server. You can use WinHttp to test out
your server, but it will not help you with the server construction.

If this is at a professional level, what reason could you have for
wanting to make your own server? There's IIS on any windows server, or
plenty of free open source web servers (like Apache) that are very
robust and stable.

If this is at a student project, it could vary wildly depending on the
needed robustness of the server (multithreaded? platform support?
directory aliasing?), and really your professor, a TA, or a classmate
would be a proper starting point.
