httpfromtcp

HTTP/1.1 server built from raw TCP primitives. It includes a minimal request parser and response writer, plus a small demo app that proxies httpbin and serves a local video file.

What we implemented

• Basic HTTP/1.1 request parsing (request line, headers, optional body).
• HTTP response writer with status line + headers + body helpers.
• Chunked transfer encoding support, including trailers.
• Demo handler that:
  • Proxies /httpbin/* to https://httpbin.org with chunked encoding and trailers.
  • Serves /video from assets/vim.mp4 with Content-Type: video/mp4.
  • Serves /yourproblem, /myproblem, and a default success page.

Quick start

go run ./cmd/httpserver

The server listens on http://127.0.0.1:42069.

Example requests

# Default page
curl http://127.0.0.1:42069/

# HTTPBin proxy (chunked + trailers)
curl -i http://127.0.0.1:42069/httpbin/html

# Video file
curl -I http://127.0.0.1:42069/video
