This project involved the use of a server script and a client script. The server is located within a directory with sub-directories containing images and HTML pages. The server is assigned an IP address, port number, and buffer value. Once the server script is executed, it listens for client requests. The client can then connect and request content from the server by typing in the server details and the file path of the content it wants. The client can even request from a remote device on the same network.
In this video, I used Python to create this project from scratch. This simple project taught me many things, such as the use of threads for asynchronous programming to enable concurrent handling of multiple clients. I also learned how HTTP requests and responses are parsed to obtain information for both the client and server. Furthermore, I got to learn more about the different handling of errors and how they should be managed for robust network applications.
To keep the video from being too long, I will make a part 2 with an in-detail explanation
of the program's code.
