Read HTTP Request From TCP Socket Stream In Java (TCP Socket Programming)

Here you will find out how Web servers process incoming requests from the browser.
It will be a plus if you have basic understanding of the HTTP protocol.
In this video we are creating a ServerSocket that is listening on a specific port.
When a new connection is received, we pass it to a new thread which then reads the content of the stream and parses it into our beloved HTTP format.
Initially the server is written in a way that is as straightforward as possible until we reach an issue while sending large HTTP requests.
