-s/--shield: If this option is enabled, the server will automatically blacklist all ip's exceeding the allowed request limit every 5 seconds. The default number of requests is 10. This can be changed with the line const rlimit = 10;. Usage: dserver -s: server will activate shield mode.

-bl [ips]/--blacklist [ips]: With this option, you can disable access to the server for given ips. Usage: dserver -bl 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.1 10.0.0.2: Ips '192.168.0.0', '192.168.0.1' and '10.0.0.2' will be blacklisted.

📃 Website pages (/)

You can easily create website pages adding a new folder into the public folder and putting an index.extention file into this folder. The page will have the name of folder. Exemple: we can access to the image into the /public/image going to http://127.0.0.1:port/image. Same for the html and txt folder. Here are the default pages:

• http://localhost:1111/
• http://localhost:1111/html
• http://localhost:1111/image
• http://localhost:1111/txt
• http://localhost:1111/

[SERVER] messages

A log system was implemented to the server. All the [SERVER] messages in the console are server logs. There is all the type of logs:

1. Launching logs: [SERVER] Server is running at http://127.0.0.1:1111 these logs are giving you the server URL.

2. Requests logs: [SERVER] [DD/MM/YYYY, hh:mm:ss] - 127.0.0.1 - 1 these logs provide you with the ip of the visitor to your website, as well as the number of times this ip has visited your website in this session. The log is formed as follows: [SERVER] [date, time] - ip adrs. - number of visits by this ip. The visitor's user agent can be found in the server.log file.

3. Blacklist logs: [SERVER] [DD/MM/YYYY, hh:mm:ss] - BLACKLISTED IP 127.0.0.1 tried to connect. these logs only appear if you have blacklisted one or more ips with the -bl parameter, and one of these ips has tried to access your server. (127.0.0.1 is the blacklisted ip adrs.)

4. Shield logs: [SERVER] [DD/MM/YYYY, hh:mm:ss] - 127.0.0.1 exceeded requests threshold (3). this log occurs when the -s (--shield) parameter has been activated, and an ip address has exceeded the limit of 3 requests every 5 seconds.

5. Index file log: [SERVER] Using custom index file: /path/to/your/index/file.html this log confirms that the custom index file you configured with the -index [path] parameter has been used.
