Multithreaded HTTP Server for Linux built up by the pool of threads multiplexing select() system call.
Developing code bellow we follow general guidelines from [1] chapter 11.
The only one source file has been modified is server.c.
Instead of fork new process to handle each incoming client's connection,
as procedure server_run ( ) does in [1], we start pool of 1024 threads
accepting as parameter descriptor of passive socket.
The procedure run by each thread is asynchronous BSD socketÆs server utilizing
select() system call (see for example [2],chapter 13(5)) to switch between handling
incoming client's requests by accept() system call and receiving "http" requests
from clients already connected to server utilizing procedures
handle_request() and handle_get() from [1],chapter 11.
