# Roma Capoccia Web Server

## Abstract

This is a web server that works with a subsection of the HTTP methods. It is implemented using python 3 and only uses python's ```socket``` library to handle requests and send back resoponses. The server is also multithreaded and accepts both HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 requests (thus being able to keep sockets alive).

## Execution Steps

In oder to run the server, just type in the terminal the following line

```bash

python3 ./server.py {PORT_N}

```

Where ```PORT_N``` is the port number (default is 80). In order to view one of the websites in the web browser, change the first index of hosts. 0 = Edoardo Riggio, 1 = Matteo Bernaschina, 2 = Matteo Alberici (located in server.py):

```python

190   # CHANGE THIS LINE IN ORDER TO SEE A STUDENT'S WEBSITE IN THE BROWSER

191   HOST = hosts[0][0]

...

248   # CHANGE THIS LINE IN ORDER TO SEE A STUDENT'S WEBSITE IN THE BROWSER

249   HOST = hosts[0][0]

...

298   # CHANGE THIS LINE IN ORDER TO SEE A STUDENT'S WEBSITE IN THE BROWSER

299   HOST = hosts[0][0]

...

342   # CHANGE THIS LINE IN ORDER TO SEE A STUDENT'S WEBSITE IN THE BROWSER

343   HOST = hosts[0][0]

```

## Notes

- The server does not work well with requests that exceed the size of 1024 kB.

- Socket hangs when an error code is sent in the browser, closes connection properly when error code is sent form Postman
