    This document provides instructions for an assignment to create a basic HTTP web server in Python. Students are asked to write a http_server.py file that listens on port 12000 for HTTP requests, parses the requested file name from the request, opens and sends the contents of that file in an HTTP response. The document includes details on setting up the server, creating an example HTML file to serve, and how to test the server by making requests from a web browser.

    COEN-366: Communication Networks and Protocols


    Instructor: Prof. Chadi Assi

    As we have seen in the lab, we were able to create a client and a server, then we can
    establish a connection between them. This assignment will be in the same way;
    however, you are asked to write a server only (webserver) and the client will be the
    browser.
    You have to write a http_server.py file that contains the following:
    1. Create a TCP connection that listens on port number 12000
    2. Read the incoming HTTP request and parse it to get the name of the
    file the browser is asking for.
    3. Create an HTTP response that contains the data of the file.
    Send this HTTP response to the client (browser)

    At a high level, your web server will be structured something like the
    following:

    Listen for connections


    Forever loop:
    Accept new connection from incoming client
    Parse HTTP/1.0 request
    Ensure well-formed request (return error otherwise)
    Determine if target file exists and if permissions are set properly (return error
    otherwise)
    Transmit contents of file to connect (by performing reads on the file and writes
    on the socket)
    Close the connection
    Some instructions:
    1. Create an html file called (coen366.html), the content of this file is provided at
    the end of the assignment (see below).
    2. You must put the .html file in the same directory of your http_server.py file.
    3. After creating the server, you have to run it.
    4. Go to your browser and then type the URL that connects to the server you
    have created. The URL is as the following:
    http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_SERVER:PORT_NUMBER_YOUR_
    SERVER_LISTEN_TO/coen366
    5. Hit ENTER, you must see now the content of the file.
    6. Submit the http_server.py file to moodle only.
    Gd Luck!
