Description

HTTP333 is a full-stack software application crafted in C/C++ for querying and searching files by keywords in specified directories. It features a multithreaded web server capable of handling and parsing HTTP requests using a custom server socket and file crawler.

Features

• File Querying and Searching: Allows users to search for files by keywords within specified directories.
• Multithreaded Web Server: Capable of handling multiple HTTP requests concurrently.
• Custom Server Socket and File Crawler: Uses a bespoke implementation for socket handling and file crawling.

Installation

1. Ensure you have a C/C++ compiler installed on your system.
2. Clone or download the source code from the repository.
3. Compile the source files using your C/C++ compiler. For example:

   g++ -o http333 http333.cc ServerSocket.cc HttpServer.cc -lpthread
   

Usage
