Python - Network #0

In this networking project, I used curl in Bash scripts to send various types of HTTP headers. In the process, I learned about how URL's work, domain names, the many different HTTP request/repsonse header fields and status codes, and how to utilize cookies.

Task six was an algorithm challenge separate from the overall project theme completed in Python.

Tests:

• tests: Folder of test files. Provided by ALX.

Tasks:

NOTE: The curl behavior in all Bash scripts were written to interact with a server set up on a container provided by ALX.

• 0. cURL body size 0-body_size.sh: Bash script that sends a GET request to a given URL and displays the size of the response body in bytes.

• 1. cURL to the end

  • 1-body.sh: Bash script that sends a GET request to a given URL and displays the response body for a 200 status code response.

• 2. cURL Method

  • 2-delete.sh: Bash script that sends a DELETE request to a given URL and displays the response body.

• 3. cURL only methods

  • 3-methods.sh: Bash script that displays all HTTP methods the server of a given URL will accept.

• 4. cURL headers

  • 4-header.sh: Bash script that sends a GET request to a given URL with a header variable X-School-User-Id=98 and displays the response body.

• 5. cURL POST parameters

  • 5-post_params.sh: Bash script that sends a POST request to a given URL with the variables email=test@gmail.com and subject=I will always be here for PLD and displays the response body.

• 6. Find a peak

  • 6-peak.py: [Technical interview preparation] - Python program that finds a peak in a list of unsorted integers.
  • 6-peak.txt: Text file containing the complexity of the algorithm.

• 7. Only status code

  • 100-status_code.sh: Bash script that sends a GET request to a given URL without using pipes, redirections, ;, or && and displays the status code of the response.

• 8. cURL a JSON file

  • 101-post_json.sh: Bash script that sends a JSON POST request with the contents of a provided file to a given URL, and displays the response body.

• 9. Catch me if you can!

  • 102-catch_me.sh: Bash script that sends a request to 0.0.0.0:5000/catch_me that causes the server to respond with a message containing You got me! in the repsonse body.
