Liso Server (HTTP 1.1)
A Liso web server supporting HTTP 1.1 at the application layer, and a smart client able to parallely process and request file based on lineage graph.
This project involves building a fully functional web server and client, simulating real-world scenarios while exploring HTTP/1.1 functionalities, performance optimizations, and network conditions.
Liso HTTP 1.1 Server Implementation
- A web server capable of handling HTTP requests (GET, HEAD, etc.) from multiple clients concurrently.
- Implements robust error handling (e.g., HTTP 404, HTTP 503, HTTP 400) and overload protection.
- Efficient handling of concurrent connections using the poll() system call.
Smart Client Implementation
- A custom client replacing standard web browsers to interact with the server.
- Implements HTTP/1.1 optimizations such as pipelining (concurrent inflight requests) and parallel connections.
This project is done as part of the course project at CMU 15441.
