Building my own webserver

from codingchallenges.fyi

1. Build basic webserver Server side:

• receive request string
• return response

2. Serve HTML pages

• www is the localhost root directory Steps:
• 1/ Receive request
• 2/ Parse: split string by space delimiter -> save elements into a dictionary
• 3/ Form Response --> send to client

Issues/ Learning notes:

• exceptions can be handled better.
• how to structure the http codes so that it accomodates for increasing checks and codes?

3. Handling Multiple Concurrent clients

• think about how to write this as a for-loop first

• then parallelize

• refactored server.py into a class object

• need some way to stop the server at user cmd

• figure out how to set up testing with concurrent clients.

• can add locks for safety -- https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/socket-programming-multi-threading-python/?ref=ml_lbp
