Welcome to the world of HTTP servers! 🌐 Here's a quick guide to get you started:

What is an HTTP Server?

An HTTP server is a software that processes requests via the HTTP protocol. It serves web pages, handles data transfers, and manages client-server interactions. 🚀

  • Serves Files: Responds to client requests by delivering static or dynamic content.
  • Handles Requests: Processes GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc., using routing logic.
  • Dynamic Content: Executes scripts (e.g., PHP, Node.js) to generate responses on the fly. 📄

Getting Started

  1. Choose a Language: Start with Python or Node.js for quick prototyping.
  2. Set Up Your Server: Use tools like Apache, Nginx, or frameworks like Express.js. 🛠
  3. Test Your Setup: Use curl or browser tools to send requests and verify responses. 🔍
