***** Instructions for compiling, running and testing *****

Deployment with docker and docker-compose

In order to make it easier to make it easier for us to control project dependencies and code sharing among the group members, we decided to have a "write once, run everywhere" approach. Having, therefore, a docker image to compile and run the server.

[STEP 1 - Execute deployment script] To build the image and start-up the service with docker-compose, you must run it on your machine: (make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed on your machine, preferably the newer versions) [current working directory -> inside project's folder]

chmod +x ./docker/deploy_server.sh && ./docker/deploy_server.sh

Deployment without Docker

[STEP 0 - Extra notes] In case you don't want to run in docker container, you can compile the project normally and run it from the terminal. (Note that this will require a JDK 17 version)

[STEP 1 - Compile each class and its dependencies]

• Compile MyHttpServer.java and its dependencies

    javac -d . MyHttpServer.java

• Compile MyHttpClient.java and its dependencies

    javac MyHttpClient.java

[STEP 2 - Start HTTP server] Open a terminal and launch the server class: (the TCP port number where the server will be accepting connections is the value of SERVER_PORT environment variable - that is 8081 by default).
