# Vino

Vino is a lightweight and efficient web server written in the C programming language.

## Compile and run

For now Vino only support Linux 2.6 or later.

Please make sure you have [cmake](https://cmake.org) installed.

```cmake
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
./vino
```

If you want to build for debug and print debug information when compiling, use `cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug <path>`. If you want to enable profiling, you can use `cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-pg <path>`.

By default the server accepts connections on port 8080, if you want to assign other port for the server, run it as `./vino -p|--port <port>`. For more options, please type `./vino -h|--help` into terminal.

## Features

- [x] Single-threaded, non-blocking I/O based on event-driven model
- [x] HTTP persistent connection (HTTP Keep-Alive)
- [x] A timer for executing the handler after having waited the specified number of milliseconds
- [x] A parser for extracting request line and headers from HTTP request message
- [x] A unified memory pool
- [x] HTTP GET method

## Performance

I have made a small performance test with [Nginx](https://nginx.org/en/), a high-performance web server and reverse proxy (I have learned a lot from it). In a way it is not a fair comparison, for the processing logic in Vino is relatively simpler than Nginx.
