Playground RS

A simple multi-threaded web server implementation in Rust. This project demonstrates the implementation of a basic HTTP server with a thread pool for handling concurrent connections.

Features

Multi-threaded web server implementation
Custom thread pool for handling concurrent connections
Basic HTTP response handling
Graceful shutdown mechanism

Project Structure

src/main.rs - Entry point of the application
src/server.rs - Web server implementation
src/thread_pool.rs - Custom thread pool implementation

Requirements

Rust 2024 edition
Cargo (Rust's package manager)

Running the Project

Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd playground-rs

Build and run the project:

cargo run

The server will start on 127.0.0.1:7878. You can test it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://127.0.0.1:7878 or using curl:

curl http://127.0.0.1:7878

Implementation Details

Thread Pool

The project implements a custom thread pool that:

Creates a fixed number of worker threads
Uses message passing for job distribution
Handles graceful shutdown
Manages thread lifecycle

Web Server

The web server:

Listens on localhost port 7878
Uses the thread pool to handle incoming connections
Responds with a simple "Hello, world!" message
