Description
Problem Statement Run the Server/Client inside CSC361-VM Within CSC361-VM, open a terminal and type sudo mn -x to create a simple network topology (more details about the created topology can be found in Mininet Walkthrough). Then pick h1 and h2 to run your server/client code, and start Wireshark to capture packets. Note that you should not open the Wireshark before sudo mn -x command. Determine the IP address of the host that is running the server (e.g., the IP address of host h1). Then run a working version of your server program server_web.py . Note that you should run your server first. The following is an input command format to run the server. python server_web.py For example, if your server is running over IP address A.B.C.D and port number 6789, then the command format can be python server_web.py A.B.C.D 6789 Your client will connect to the server using a TCP connection, send an HTTP request to the server, and display the server response as an output. You can assume that the HTTP request sent is a GET method. The client should take command line arguments specifying the server IP address or host name, the port at which the server is listening, and the path at which the requested object is stored at the server. The following is an input command format to run the client. python client_web.py For example, if the client wants to request hello.html file, the command format can be python client_web.py A.B.C.D 6789 hello.html You must demonstrate your two pieces of code inside the CSC361-VM and use Wireshark to capture all HTTP related packets. Your server and client must use different IP addresses, i.e., How to Run the Server How to Run the Client Evaluation you are not allowed to use 127.0.0.x . Put the provided hello.html file in the same folder as where your server is and test your HTTP client/server. In the test case that your client requests hello.html file, your client is supposed to see HTTP/1.1 200 OK and the content of the request file; In the test case that your client requests a random file, e.g., random.html , your client is supposed to see 404 NOT FOUND . You are required to create one single document before your demo that has The screen shot of all your HTTP packets captured in Wireshark The screen shot of your client (two test cases) You are also required to answer a few questions about your programming assignment during the demo in ECS 360. The evaluation scheme is: (50%) Correctness of Python code (20%) The created document before your demo (30%) Questions and Answers during the demo (at least 5 questions) You will hand in the complete client/server code along with the single document created to
