Project assignment for Computer Networks course. Webserver written in C that satisfies HTTP GET requests. Webserver is implemented in three different ways: single-threaded, multi-threaded, and thread-pooled

1. Waits for client request
2. Processes the request
3. Repeats this cycle. All of these steps are executed in a single thread

1. Waits for client request
2. When it accepts a new client connection, creates a new thread, and waits for other clients
3. The new thread processes the new request

Web server creates threads very frequently, so it can consume lots of computing resources to create new threads. To solve this problem, thread-pooled server creates the threads in advance, wakes a thread and gives task to the thread whenever it is needed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pool

Download files, use make to compile servers. To run execute ./server. To connect to the server, send the requests with browser to your local IP and port 5000, like http://IP:5000
