This project implements a Web-server as a part of understanding Computer Networks courseware concepts. The code is intended to be clean albeit the name :)

This project aims to understand how the actual web-server works; by implementing some of the server-side functionalities. The server uses HTTP protocol for client-server communication. Any web-browser can be used as a client.

The project provides TODO lists application.

cd src; python3 server.py

NOTE: Currently, the server can implement GET, PUT, POST, HEAD, DELETE methods ]

1. Client cache
2. Log implementations
3. exploring Pacman:)
