Custom HTTP Server in Go

This project is a low-level, from-scratch implementation of an HTTP server written in Go. It’s part of my learning journey through the Boot.dev course: Learn HTTP Protocol in Go.

🌐 About

The goal of this project is to understand how HTTP works under the hood by building a simple but functional HTTP server without using Go's standard net/http server package for high-level routing or request handling.

Instead, this server:

• Listens for TCP connections on a port
• Parses raw HTTP requests manually
• Responds with proper HTTP-formatted responses
• Handles multiple HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.)
• Supports headers, status codes, and basic routing

🧠 What I'm Learning

• The structure of raw HTTP requests and responses
• Parsing request lines, headers, and bodies
• The difference between HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1
• Building a basic router
• Handling concurrency with Goroutines
• Working directly with TCP sockets in Go

🛠 Technologies

• Go (Golang)
• net package (TCP networking)
• No external libraries — just standard Go packages
