Toy (HTTP) Server

By: Derek Tan / DrkWithT (GitHub)

Summary:

This Java repo contains files and code for a toy HTTP 1.1 server. The server is unintended for production usage and nor has full compliance with HTTP/1.1 for now. Although this will be at best a mediocre implementation, I will continue this project for learning about the HTTP protocol and network programming.

References:

• Ensure compliance with other HTTP/1.1 requirements based on this link: HTTP Made Really Easy
• RFC 9110: HTTP Semantics

Project Roadmap:

1. Create basic worker and HTTP request-response classes. (DONE)
   • Create and integrate a request handler class!
2. Support persistent / non-persistent connections. (DONE FOR NOW)
3. Rewrite server resource code. (DONE)
4. Add HEAD method support. (DONE)
5. Support If-Unmodified-Since header. Honor this whenever recieved with a 200 or 304 based on the header's vs. resource's updating date.
6. Support 100 Continue responses.
7. Support chunked requests.

Other Todos:

1. The SimpleRequest class needs an overhaul to support chunked requests. It might be better to encapsulate the responseStream within another ChunkedRequest class for an easy fix, as single vs chunked responses have some different grammar.
