[C#] Tiny Web Server (snippet) - WJunction

Hyperz · 23rd Jun 2010, 06:11 AM

This is one of those examples that really gives you an idea just how much dev time the .NET platform saves you. This is a extremely basic web server.

PHP Code:


			
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

using c = System.Console;


namespace Hyperz.BasicWebServer
{
    public class Program
    {
        private static String address;
        private static Thread listenThread;
        private static HttpListener listener;

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            c.WriteLine("[{0:HH:mm}] Initializing", DateTime.Now);

            // the address we want to listen on
            address = "http://127.0.0.1:80/";

            // setup thread
            listenThread = new Thread(Worker);
            listenThread.IsBackground = true;
            listenThread.Priority = ThreadPriority.Normal;

            // setup listener
            listener = new HttpListener();
            listener.Prefixes.Add(address);

            // Gogogo
            listenThread.Start(null);

            // prevent the console window from closing
            while (true) c.ReadKey(true);
        }

        private static void Worker(object state)
        {
            // start listening
            listener.Start();

            c.WriteLine("[{0:HH:mm}] Running", DateTime.Now);

            // request -> response loop
            while (true)
            {
                HttpListenerContext context = listener.GetContext();
                HttpListenerRequest request = context.Request;
                
                c.WriteLine(
                    "[{0:HH:mm}] Request received from {1}",
                    DateTime.Now,
                    request.LocalEndPoint.Address
                );

                /* respond to the request.
                 * in this case it'll show "Server appears to be working".
                 * regardless of what file/path was requested.
                 */
                using (HttpListenerResponse response = context.Response)
                {
                    string html = "<b>Server appears to be working!</b>";
                    byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(html);

                    response.ContentType = "text/html";
                    response.ContentLength64 = data.Length;

                    using (Stream output = response.OutputStream)
                    {
                        output.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
                    }
                }

                c.WriteLine(
                    "[{0:HH:mm}] Handled request for {1}",
                    DateTime.Now,
                    request.LocalEndPoint.Address
                );
            }
        }
    }
}

All that in 90 lines of code. C#

Yeah i know, but not if you change like 3 lines.

Hyperz · 24th Jun 2010, 01:19 PM

It would be a bit more than 3 lines lol. But if some1 is genuinely interested in this I can write an improved version which also handles file requests.
