===Multithreaded-HTTP-Web-server-TCP===

Author: Srinivasa Maringanti
Tags: Multithreaded HTTP web server

== Description ==
*A multi-threaded, simple web server, which can serve static HTML files as well as jpeg/gif image files, and can map URL paths to different filesystem paths.

*The URL mapping is determined by three rules:
o All URL paths should be mapped to filenames under DocumentRoot,
which is specified as a command line argument. For example, if
DocumentRoot is set to /home/htdoc and the client is requesting “GET
/httpd.html HTTP/1.1”, the requested filename should then be
/home/htdoc/httpd.html.
o If a URL ends with /, then index.html should be appended to the
filename. For example, if the client request is “GET / HTTP/1.1”, the
mapped filename should be /home/htdoc/index.html.
o The absolute path /images in each URL should be mapped to the img
directory under DocumentRoot. For example, if the client request is
“GET /images/sjsu.jpg HTTP/1.1”, the mapped filename should
be /home/htdoc/img/sjsu.jpg.

*The root of the folder contains one 'C' programs(207httpd.c) ,one object file(207httpd.c),results documents(Results.odt,.pdf,.docx), makefile, one image(favicon.ico),one html page(index.html),four folders(Documents,html,img and Screenshots) and this README file.

*Server.c is a simple HTTP multithreaded Web server built on TCP protocol.


== How to compile and run the files ==

------TCP code running and execution------

** After the code is ready first compile the files using make file that is already in the folder.
** Command for make is  use gcc -pthread -o server server.c
** Check for errors.If compiled the program is ready to run.
** Now on the server side of the terminal use the following command
	./server 2006 /home/sunsanikates/Desktop/2/
where 2006 is the port number which we are giving using command line argument and /home/sunsanikates/Desktop/2/ is the root folder we need to set.
** Server starts running and is waiting for the client.
** Now on the client side of the terminal use the following command
	wget http://localhost:2006/img/home.gif
where http://localhost:2006/img/home.gif is the address where the files exist in the server.
** Now on the client side in browser enter the URL
	http://localhost:2006/

== Documents ==

*In the documents folder you will find the results in different formats and also a copy of this README file in the document folder.

== Screenshots ==

*In the screenshot folder you will find a few screenshots of both the program executions and outputs.

== img and html ==

*These folders have the html files and images to run the html pages.
**Dont move the files if you cannot understand the relavtive addressing in html.

Most of the code structure and creation of bugs was done using the class slides. But errors and bugs where refered from the following websites.
