A mirror of Tinyhttpd, an ultra-lightweight HTTP server written in under 500 lines of C by J. David Blackstone in 1999. It is intended as a learning resource for understanding how web servers work internally, including socket handling, request parsing, threading, and CGI execution.
Use cases
- learn how an HTTP server works by reading source code
- understand socket programming and request handling in C
- study how CGI scripts are executed by a web server
- teach networking and systems programming concepts
- experiment with a minimal web server implementation
When to choose
- you want to study a minimal, readable HTTP server implementation in C
- you are learning sockets, threading, and CGI fundamentals
- you need a tiny codebase for teaching or coursework
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, secure, or performant web server
- you need modern HTTP features like TLS, HTTP/2, or async I/O
- you want an actively developed server with community support
