File Upload and Detection Server

A lightweight C++ server that accepts file uploads via HTTP POST requests, detects the file type based on its binary signature (magic number), stores the file, and optionally parses CSV data for analysis and encoding.

Features

• HTTP server with GET and POST support
• File upload handling with MIME type detection
• CSV parsing with DataFrame-style output
• Label encoding and one-hot encoding of uploaded CSV data
• Static file serving (e.g., index.html from ./public)
• JSON-based API responses
• Logging for info, warnings, and errors
