ASM-HTTP

This repository contains implementations of a simple HTTP server written in assembly language for both Windows and Linux environments. The server listens on port 9966 and responds with a basic HTML page.

Now supported handle and parsing the request

Windows Version

Requirements

• MASM32 SDK

Compilation and Usage

1. Save the Windows version code to a file named server_win.asm.

2. Open the MASM32 command prompt.

3. Navigate to the directory containing server_win.asm.

4. Assemble the code:

   ml /c /coff start.asm
   ml /c /coff pages\index.asm
   ml /c /coff pages\about.asm
   

5. Link the object file:

   link /subsystem:console start.obj index.obj about.obj
   

6. Run the server:

   start.exe
   

7. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9966 to see the server response.

Linux Version

Requirements

• NASM (Netwide Assembler)

Compilation and Usage

1. Save the Linux version code to a file named server_linux.asm.

2. Open a terminal.

3. Navigate to the directory containing server_linux.asm.

4. Assemble the code:

   nasm -f elf32 server_linux.asm
   

5. Link the object file:

   ld -m elf_i386 server_linux.o -o server_linux
   

6. Run the server:

   ./server_linux
   

7. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9966 to see the server response.

Notes

• Both versions listen on port 9966 by default. If you need to change the port, modify the port value in the respective assembly files.
• The Linux version is compiled for 32-bit systems. If you're on a 64-bit system, you might need to install 32-bit libraries or adapt the code for 64-bit assembly.
• These servers are intended for educational purposes and are not suitable for production environments without further enhancements.

Testing

You can test the server using curl:

curl http://localhost:9966

Or by opening http://localhost:9966 in a web browser.

Upcoming

• Multiple handle for other files than index.html (Done)
• Port the request handle to linux server
