Server-http-with-socket

Project for Web Development Discipline: Develop an HTTP 1.1 server using socket. This will be developed using Python language.

Resource additions (older):

• Telemetry with angular updating DIV every second.

• Updated mobile interface with bootstrap.

• Feedback feature on page 404. Feedback is recovered using the post method.

• Implemented virtual status feature. Automatically generated, only as a request '/virtual/.../status.json' this feature responds with server status.

• Obtaining IP and Broadcast address automatically via the ifconfig. So we just call 'Server (http_port, unicast_port)', as addresses are obtained via the 'network.py' package. However, this feature only works on Linux.

• Implemented server grid. Now with a own protocol, the server sends Broadcast packages looking for new servers. So, before returning 404, you will look for the appeal on adjacent servers.

• Implementation of dynamic resources with the Common Gateway Interface. When writing at URL /CGI /Prog? Params, the server will run the PROG, both if it is in /bin /or /sbin /, and if it is a local program. For test, try to run the CGIEXECUTABLE program and pass a few parameters.

• Implemented the Basic Authentication for Path access. When a Path is requested, it will be sought in Path the .htaccess file. If you don't have, 200. If you have, you return 401. Then in the next Request is expected a user and pass.

• Ordering the files growing or decreasingly by the name and size using query params.

• Complete navigation at the interface using the 'Parent Directory'.

• Icons are loaded via base64.

• Navigation Interface presents the File (name), Size - with their respective sizes in Bytes, KB, MB and GB. When paste, this value is not informed - and Last Modified.

• Ready navigation interface.

• CAUTION OF UNKNOWN MYMETYPES MYMYPE ERRORS, INCORRECT INDEX GENERATION AND PATHS IN INDEX LINKED TO INCORRECT PLACE BECAUSE OF '.'

• Interface created for navigation between directories. Just make a request to 127.0.0.1:port/subpath/subsubpath.

• Generating index.html for any Path request.

• Updated the return function of the 404 Not Found.

• When for the first time the customer connects with the server, the server returns a cookie "count = 0", which is increased with each connection to the server.

• Starting to process the File Caches of the GET Method: IF-Modified-Since and IF-UNMODIFIED-Since implemented.

• Obtaining and returning Header-Field Content-Length, Content-Type and Last-Modified.

• Returning Get Requests of 128 by 128 bytes files so as not to "drown" the server with large files.

• It is now launching a thread to serve any GET. So when a socket connects, a thread is released to serve it and the main thread continues to expect another connection.

• Turning the server file into a class.
