=====================WARNING===========================================
This code probably has bugs and security vulnerabilities! Please be careful and do not handle sensitive data with the server. The HTTP protocol is used so anyone can see (and modify) the transmitted data. I am in no way responsible for damages caused by the software in this repository.

Usage

1. Compile with g++ -o webserver webserver.cpp Or download from releases
