[b] How to make a simple web server on C [\b]

[komyg]

I'm trying to do a simple web server on C.

It'll be really simple because it has to accept just one client connection and read and write characters to and from the socket.

I'm using Linux Debian and I don't know where to start, i.e. wich header file do I use, or how do I open the socket?

Thank you,
Komyg

Do you have any experience of writing any kind of network application at all?

lol Salem, I'm guessing not, considering they asked how to open a socket !

First, learn network programming :

Then read the HTTP protocol, and implement it :

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html

Then you will have an HTTP server.
