hello

Multi-threaded cross-platform HTTP/1.1 web server example in Zig using lithdew/pike and kprotty/zap.

Warning

This example is barebones and highly experimental. Linux and Mac has been extensively tested, with Windows only being barely supported.

pike does not yet support cancellation of pending I/O operations on Windows, which causes this example to fail spontaneously should one initiate a graceful shutdown on Windows.

Setup

This example requires a nightly version of Zig. Make sure that port 9000 is available.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lithdew/hello
cd hello && zig run hello.zig
