A custom REST API server built from scratch in Python, demonstrating low-level network programming and API design. Features a browser-based JavaScript client and a C client for testing, with complete CRUD operations and session-based authentication.

Key Concepts#

• Built complete REST API from scratch without using web frameworks
• Implemented multi-threaded request handling for concurrent connections
• Created cross-platform clients (JavaScript and C) consuming the same API
• Designed session-based authentication using HTTP cookies
• Demonstrated understanding of HTTP protocol at the socket level
• Implemented proper HTTP error handling (403 Forbidden, 404 Not Found)
