This is a toy server-client Rust application that uses tokio runtime.
The purspose of this repo is a simple introduction to the Rust
tokio library different from the hello Tokio, chat app, or echo server.
This application consists of two parts: server and client.
The server listens to 127.0.0.1:8080 and upon accepting a new connection
creates a new task which generates frames (sequence of bytes) and sends them
to the client. A frame has the following format:
<n><byte_1>...<byte_n>
In other words, a single frame begins with a byte indicating the number
of bytes following the first one. For example, 2 4 6 or 4 1 4 3 2.
After sending a single byte the server waits for some time between 1 or 5 seconds.
Bytes sent by the server are logged to the stdout.
The client connects to 127.0.0.1:8080 and upon successfull connection
reads bytes sent the server. If a frame is incomplete (for example 3 1 2) then
it logs the frame is incomplete and waits for the rest of the frames, otherwise it
parses the frame and logs the bytes to the stdout.
