A lightweight and asynchronous HTTP server written in Rust using the tokio runtime. This server listens on 127.0.0.1:3000 and responds with a simple HTML page.
- Asynchronous TCP handling: Utilizes
tokiofor efficient, non-blocking IO operations. - Simple request handling: Parses incoming requests and responds with an HTML page.
- Concurrent connections: Handles multiple client connections simultaneously using
tokio::spawn.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Cod-e-Codes/rust-simple-http-server.git cd rust-simple-http-server - Build the project:
cargo build --release
- Run the project:
cargo run
-
Start the server:
cargo run
-
Open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000.
-
You will see the following response:
<html><body><h1>Welcome to Rust HTTP Server!</h1></body></html>
- Binding to a socket: The server binds to the IP address
127.0.0.1on port3000. - Listening for connections: Listens for incoming TCP connections using
tokio::net::TcpListener. - Handling requests: Reads incoming data, logs the HTTP request, and sends a fixed HTML response.
- Concurrency: Each connection is handled in a separate asynchronous task (
tokio::spawn).

main.rs: Contains the server logic, request handling, and response generation.
tokio: Provides asynchronous runtime and utilities for handling networking tasks.
