- Build a simple, multi-threaded HTTP server in Java
- Gain deeper understanding of how the Internet operates
- Adhere to SOLID principles and test-driven development
- Pass acceptance tests outlined by Cob Spec
Requires Java 1.8 and Maven
1. Set the following environment variable:
export JAVA_SERVER_TOKEN='Basic YWRtaW46aHVudGVyMg=='
2. In your terminal, kill process on port 5000:
kill -9 `lsof -i :5000 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'`
3. Clone, compile, and package the code:
$ git clone https://github.com/malinatran/java-http-server
$ cd java-http-server
$ mvn package
From the root directory, run java -jar target/java-http-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
To specify a port and/or directory, you may pass in the following arguments: -p [PORT] -d [DIRECTORY], -p [PORT], or -d [DIRECTORY]. The port and directory are optional; if not provided, default values for both will be set (to port 5000 and public directory, respectively).
JUnit is the unit testing framework used for this project. Through the command line, run mvn test. For acceptance tests via Cob Spec, run the server and follow instructions listed here.
