Example webserver implementation

Here is an example implementation using the wave library:

#include "wave.h"

void about_handler(int client_fd, const char *request)
{
    send_response(client_fd, "This is a custom endpoint!", 200);
}

void custom_handler(int client_fd, const char *request)
{
    send_file_response(client_fd, "index.html");
}

int main(void)
{
    server_t *server = init_server(8080);

    add_route(server, "GET", "/", default_handler);
    add_route(server, "GET", "/about", about_handler);
    add_route(server, "GET", "/custom", custom_handler);
    start_server(server);
    return 0;
}

You can compile your webserver with:

gcc main.c -I. -lwave -L. -Wl,-rpath,.
