BRIEF

CODE

Below you will find the skeleton code for the Web server. You are to complete the skeleton    code. The places where you need to fill in code are marked with #Fill in start and #Fill in end.

Each place may require one or more lines of code.

RUNNING THE SERVER

Put an HTML file (e.g., HelloWorld.html) in the same directory that the server is in. Run the server program. Determine the IP address of the host that is running the server (e.g.,

128.238.251.26). From another host, open a browser and provide the corresponding URL. For example:

http:// 128.238.251.26:6789/HelloWorld.html

‘HelloWorld.html’ is the name of the file you placed in the server directory. Note also the use of the port number after the colon. You need to replace this port number with whatever port  you have used in the server code. In the above example, we have used the port number

6789. The browser should then display the contents of HelloWorld.html. If you omit ":6789", the browser will assume port 80 and you will get the web page from the server only if your   server is listening at port 80. Then try to get a file that is not present at the server. You

should get a “404 Not Found” message.

SUBMISSION

WHAT TO SUBMIT FOR PROJECT 1:

Document your project in report format and include relevant screen clippings of the process. This report can be in .docx or pdf format. Upload to the canvas Project 1 assignment link

WHAT TO SUBMIT FOR PROJECT 1:

(1) Project report. This report can be in .docx or .pdf format.

(2) The completed code - python file(.py)

(3) Video - In addition to the written submission, you will create a short video using Canvas Studio.  The video should verify that:

a) you receive the contents of the HTML file from the server, the HTML file is displayed in the browser

b) when you try to get a file that is not present at the server, you will get  “404 Not Found” message

c) your aim is to demonstrate your understanding of the project by explaining the python code that you have written

d) the video should be approx. 3 minutes in duration.

Note your tutor may ask specific questions to each of you to check your work and your understanding of the project.
