Note: This project is created for my learning purpose. To better understand websocket protocol by implementing it using socket programming
This is a minimal WebSocket implementation for better understanding of WebSocket protocol. and basic server-client interactions. To build the project, run make in the project directory. This will compile the source code and generate the necessary executables. To run the WebSocket server, execute build/websocket_server, and to run the WebSocket client, execute build/websocket_client. Make sure you have Make and a C++ compiler (like g++) installed before building.
Another standalone executable is built when you run make. If you run the executable by typing ./build/realtime_file_monitor <file-path>, it will start a server at localhost:8080 that displays the file content in a rendered HTML page. If you change the file, the HTML page will update in real time.
