- Make sure that the proxyserver file is in another directory from the webserver and the home.html file in order to properly test whether or not the proxy server works.
- Run the
webserver1.pyfile in one terminal instance. - Run the
proxyserver1.pyorproxyserver2.pyinstance in another terminal instance. - On another device, put the first device's IP and the proxy server's port into the browser's URL with
/home.htmlat the end. - If the page loads, then the proxy server works.
- Double check in the terminal instances that the forward and response messages are printed by both the proxy and web servers.
- When testing the cached proxy server, reload the URL multiple times and confirm that the page still loads, the proxy server is printing a "proxy-cache" message to the terminal, and the web server is no longer being used to retrieve the data.
I have done this assignment completely on my own. I have not copied it, nor have I given my solution to anyone else. I understand that if I am involved in plagiarism or cheating I will have to sign an official form that I have cheated and that this form will be stored in my official university record. I also understand that I will receive a grade of "0" for the involved assignment and my grade will be reduced by one level (e.g., from "A" to "A-" or from "B+" to "B") for my first offense, and that I will receive a grade of "F" for the course for any additional offense of any kind.
By signing my name below and submitting the project, I confirm the above statement is true and that I have followed the course guidelines and policies.
