rnagasam / sws

sws -- a simple web server

MAIN FUNCTIONS USED

• inet_pton(3) - convert the user provided address from printable form to network usable form
• strtol(3) - used to convert the port number from a user-provided string to an int while also checking the validity of the provided port

ISSUES

• While parsing the provided address we have to check for the following
  • the length of the provided address should not exceed INET_ADDRSTRLEN (IPv4) and INET6_ADDRSTRLEN (IPv6)
  • the provided address should be convertible to network format. For example, these are not valid (192. , 192.1.455.256, 235:2352:,localhost etc.)
