SCWS :: Simple C WebServer

Simple C WebServer

It's free to use or copy for anyone. It's meant to be forked, optimized, etc..
I don't recommend using it publicly since it is super super super super insecure!!!

!!! Install

To compile scws from source, you'll need the following apckages preinstalled:

~ Debian

• libmicrohttpd-dev

sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev

~ OpenBSD

• libmicrohttpd

doas pkg_add libmicrohttpd

~ Gentoo

• libmicrohttpd

doas emerge net-libs/libmicrohttpd

~ Fedora

• libmicrohttpd

sudo dnf install libmicrohttpd-devel

~ MacOS

• libmicrohttpd-dev

brew install libmicrohttpd

---

install:

make

Usage

It is important to keep your index.html and style.css files inside of the root folder of the compiled binary file. Thanks to the clankers making me a fast index! You can change the location in the scws.c file though. To run SCWS, do this (You can also leave the ip and port option empty to default to your local IPv4 and port 8888):

./scws [ip] [port]

When the server is running, you should get the following output:

[!!] Yay! Server is running on 0.0.0.0:8888

Now go to http://0.0.0.0:8888/ and see the following example website:
