Turbo Lover (HTTP Server)

Basic HTTP 1/1 Server that accepts TCP connections and serves HTTP Responses.

Motivation

I'm building this for educational purposes only. Nothing is meant to be optimized or fully complete.

Scope

• Listen on a TCP port and accept incoming connections.
• Read and parse the HTTP request line into method, path, and version.
• Parse request headers into a key/value map.
• Accept Accept-Encoding header and respond with Content-Enconding header (Only accepts gzip as valid encoding)
• Only accepts Content-Type header as text/plain, application/json, and application/octet-stream (only in response)
• Send well-formed HTTP responses, including status line, headers, and body.
• Expose a simple callback/handler interface such that the server calls something like: onRequest({ method, path, headers, rawBody }, respond).
• Graceful error handling for malformed requests.
  • 400 Bad Request (Parsing Errors: request line, headers, body | Content-Length header is invalid)
  • 505 Unsupported Version (HTTP Version Not Supported)
• Read the raw request body (as bytes / Buffer / string) according to headers like Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
• Improve the logger module and use it in place of regular puts calls.
• Test suite for all the cases above.
• Package the server so it can be used as a library.
