What you'll learn
Learn to design a fully functional, standard and stablehttp server that can be accessed over the internet
student will learn how to design server apps like xender, file sharing apps and chat servers
The student will learn how to implement networking functions like bind(), accept(), socket(), listen()
Learn by practice, how socket programming in C++ works using Linux
The students, will have a good understanding of system programming in linux and also use the OPEN system call
Requirements
This projects works on LINUX, to implement on windows requires a different header files.
Description
In this course we will design a multi-threaded HTTP web server in C++ using socket programming in Linux.
at the end of this course the student will have a good grasp of system programming and also
1. how HTTP web server processes file request from clients.
2. How the server can handle multiple accept request and concurrent connections using multi-threading.
3. How uploaded files are received , assembled and stored on the server and how the server sends requested file back to the client.
4. how the server receives request and differentiates the different types of request (GET, POST)
5. how to fetch and store GET DATA, POST DATA and COOKIES on the server.
6. You also learn about multi-threading using POSIX thread and how semaphores are used to apply lock.
7. the difference between a web server , chat server, and other types of servers.
8. How to implement networking library functions like accept(), bind(), listen(), socket()
9. How the server accesses IP address of the client using the inet_ntop() function.
10. Learn System programming- how to use system calls in Linux, here we used the OPEN system call.
11. Learn System programming- File handling , how to create, read, write , receive and send files in Linux.
Who this course is for
C / C++ developers and system programmers
