Build An HTTP Server with Rust
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to write your own HTTP server in Rust?
Fear not because in this campaign, you will experience that Rust with its standard library alone can allow you to write your own HTTP server.
You will be able to know how to run a basic static server. Then we will ramp up the difficulty by challenging you to finish the incomplete file server code!
For technical help on the StackUp platform & quest-related questions, join our Discord, head to the 🆘 | quest-help-forum channel and look for the correct thread to ask your question.
