## What it is
A heavily annotated fork of the classic tinyhttpd minimal HTTP server written in C, with CGI support. It is intended as an educational project for beginners learning socket programming, processes, pipes, and the HTTP protocol on Linux.

## Use cases
- learn socket programming in C on linux
- understand how a simple http server works
- study process creation and pipes in unix
- learn the basics of the http protocol and CGI
- read annotated C code as a networking beginner

## When to choose
- you want a small, readable codebase to learn http/socket programming
- you are studying unix system calls like fork, pipes, and sockets
- you want a teaching example of CGI handling

## When to avoid
- you need a production-quality or secure web server
- you need modern HTTP features like TLS, HTTP/2, or async I/O
- you need an actively maintained project

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server
- domain: web-development, tutorials, networking, operating-systems
- platform: c, cli
- tags: http-server, cgi, socket-programming, annotated-code, beginner-friendly, fork, pipes, education, linux
