Newb here: have you written your own web server? Seeking advice
Yes, I actually have. Implementing a basic HTTP parser isn't that difficult, once you implement the correct parsing rules from RFC 9110. If you want to fully support the HTTP protocol, you also have to implement things such as Chunked Transfer Encoding or Gzip Deflate.

WEBrick. Written entirely in Ruby, this is where you should start your examination, but not where it should end. WEBrick is easy to understand, because it is all Ruby, but it is not suitable for hosting websites. It is not robust or performant enough.
