Program your own web server in C. (sockets)

hey, can you please comment on your opinion regarding the more "modern" api that contains functions such as getaddrinfo?

We working on IRC protocols. We will test our project with KVIrc. This video is good start i guess.

it was a very useful session.. thank you

what if i wanna expose my server to the public internet

sir, thank you. i was having hella trouble finding someone that could explain sockets and servers in a eli5 way. you nailed it, ill check out your course when i can afford it

Hey man just found out about your channel and i think it will change my searching for answer life. Pretty clear explanation and covering all sorts of topics. I really like your color theme on Vscode, do you mind telling me which one it is. Thank you so much.

Awesome vids, I was looking to learn C but I already know C++ so your channel ended up being the perfect gateway

I have just recently found your channel, and i have to say its fantastic. Thanks a lot pal

Too hard for me.. Thanks btw..

I use the server inside my PLC
SCADA HMI Connect to it to gather real time data....but i use UDP......

Hello
Thanks for this video. That was very helpful.
Actually I have a question: What is the role of the "clien.c" here?
Program will work even without client.c

Does the client.c program even do anything in this example? Or is it the connection from localhost that acts as the client in this case? Do I need the client program for this to work I guess the question is.

very nice，tks

This is for Linux right?

I hope you could come up with videos which could give knowledge about html request response in c/cpp using or without using libraries like libuv, cpprest, curl etc. I find my struggle a lot making a small request - response in c/cpp compare to script languages like js,python. Which makes me wonder can we really do the same request- response in c/cpp.

Code editor?

A video on how to do secure sockets in C would be nice.

"Helloooooo"

Way to actually skip DNT in explaining list of request headers! Don’t worry I don’t know that one either.

what is your editor name?

Hey, I have a doubt. Why do you allocate arrays of length MAXLINE + 1, and then only set MAXLINE bytes to 0? And, why do you read only upto MAXLINE - 1 bytes into recvline?

Hey I'm so thankful for your tutorials! I just wanted to give you a suggestion; Its better to use
sizeof servaddr
instead of
sizeof(servaddr)
to emphasize that sizeof is not a function, and that it is an operator. You would have known this, but just saying, brackets are necessary when you use sizeof on a type name.

Hello, thank u so much. the best explanation ever ;))

I have a read() call and then a write() call in my while loop and write is executing before read, how can I make sure read completes first

any tutorials how to make it working so i dont have to be on same pc and network? want to make server from my rpi 4 :)

Very helpful!!!

I build a vpn

Thank you Jacob, really thanks,, so much

Hi Jacob, wonderful tutorial :)

Hello from Russia. Thank you so much, you explain very clearly and easily!

There is something i never clearly understood. Aren't filedescriptors supposed to be unidirectional? like you have 1 to read and 1 to write to? why do we have only 1 to talk to the client here

I've been looking for exactly this kind of channel. I'm a python dev but more and more I find myself wanting to dabble in some lower-level stuff... and I have a strange fascination with C even though C++ is probably easier to use for application development... I wonder if a lot of things could still be done in raw C given good enough libraries...

Hi Jacob, I'm from China. Just wanna say welcome to China! And I'm so appreciated what you're doing! It's very helpful!

Hi, how do I send my image files to the server in MacOS, I used the senfile() for the linux but I couldn't make it work for MacOS.

Still helping people over a year later! Thanks!

2 Years Later you will try to invent a templating language based on C then people will ask you to publish this language you will call it CTC, then people will use it as language instead of templating tool, then they force you to include all features of languages until it becomes fully object oriented language in its 7th version CTC 7.

its really cool

I am really thankful that i found ur channel, really helped me alot. I love the way u just come to the point without wasting time on stupid little things. Thanks for the videos, best wishes.

Amazing tutorial!! Wandering if you could share the code, which would be very helpful!

Hi Jacob,
Thank you so much!!! The code you were presented, can it shared?

I know it's been over a month so I 'm not sure I will get a reply but when I do localhost:21898 (the port i chose) it says localhost refused to connect. Do you know of any reason why any chance?

nice video, you should expand this to cover epoll
