MultiThreaded-WebServer

This is Networking and Advanced Java combination Project

Multithreaded Web Server

A lightweight multithreaded web server built from scratch in Java, designed to handle multiple client requests concurrently using socket programming and thread pools.
This project demonstrates how a basic HTTP server works internally from accepting connections to parsing requests and sending responses while showcasing the power of concurrency in backend development.

Features

• Concurrent Request Handling – Uses multithreading to serve multiple clients simultaneously.
• Socket Programming – Implements server-client communication over TCP.
• Thread Pool – Efficiently manages worker threads to reduce thread creation overhead.
• HTTP Request Parsing – Reads and interprets raw HTTP request lines and headers.
• Static File Serving – Responds with requested files from the server's root directory.
• Graceful Shutdown – Closes all sockets and threads safely on exit.
