# Multi-threaded HTTP Socket Server and HTTP Client

A socket level HTTP server and client implementation in Python.

Only GET and POST methods are implemented. Educational purposes only, not suitable for production.

## HTTP Server Usage

### Create a handler to handle incoming requests

```python

from http_server import BaseHandler

from templates import get_template

class IndexHandler(BaseHandler):

  def get(self):

    self.response = get_template('base').format('Homepage', 'Homepage',

                                                "
Method: GET
Query Params
{}
".format(

                                                  self.request['params']))

    pass


  def post(self):

    self.response = get_template('base').format('Homepage', 'Homepage',

                                                "
Method: POST
Post Fields
{}
".format(

                                                  self.request['form']))

    pass

```


### Create a multi-threaded HTTP server and define routes

```python

from http_server import HTTPServer

from handlers import IndexHandler

example_server = HTTPServer('localhost', 8000, 5, {

  "/": IndexHandler,

})

example_server.start()

```

## HTTP Client Usage

```python

import socket

from http_client.client import get_status_code

from http_client import client, parse_response

# GET request

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

response = client.request('GET', 'localhost', 8000, '/index',

               sock)

response = parse_response(response)

# Retrieve only status code

status_code = get_status_code('GET', 'localhost', 8000, '/index')

```

## Benchmarking

A simple configuration for Locust can be found in `locustfile.py`.

If you have not installed Locust yet you can install it by

```bash

pip install locust

```

Then run `locust` command in your terminal to start Locust.
