ClientSertverHTTP

This project was a collaborative effort involving two more students for our Computer Networks subject.

It was implemented in Java with version 17.0.4.1.

The objective of the project was to create a simple client-server program, creating a multithreaded server that receives, processes and response multiple HTTP requests from the connected clients, allowing a maximum of 5 clients connected at the same time, making requests simultaneously.

In addition, it gave us the chance to gain knowledge about threads, understand the workings of a client-server architecture, and explore the HTTP protocol, including the syntax of requests and responses, as well as error codes.

All the functionalities were successfully implemented, and we received a perfect score.

Compilation

To compile the server use the command:

$ javac ThreadState.java ServerThreads.java MyHttpServer.java

To compile the client use:

$ javac MyHttpClient.java TestMP1.java

The file TestMP1.java was provided because the client was design for could not be executed independently.

Running

To run the server, use the following command, where the port is the TCP port where the server will be hosted:

$ java MyHttpServer <port>

To run the client, open other command line and use, where the port is the TCP port of the server.

$ java TestMP1 <hostname> <port>
