To run the CLI programs, ensure you have Java 12+ and Gradle 6.0.1+ installed.
Build the project using ./gradlew build.
The program can then be ran through the shell script httpc or httpfs, otherwise, the
./gradlew build script should take care of producing a jar file in the build/libs/httpsocketclient.jar
(see the httpc and httpfs to see how the arguments are passed).
./httpc help and ./httpfs help are the commands for showing the help messages.
Example usages are provided:
# Server
$ ./httpfs help
# Server (TCP mode)
$ ./httpfs -v -p 8007 -d '/path/to/directory'
# Server (UDP mode)
$ ./httpfs -v --udp -p 8007 -d '/path/to/directory'
# Client
$ ./httpc help
$ ./httpc help post
$ Client (TCP mode)
$ ./httpc get -v -h 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "Hey": "there" }' http://100.25.11.135/anything
$ ./httpc post -v -h 'Content-Type: application/json' -f "/path/to/body.txt" -o "/path/to/out.txt" http://httpbin.org/anything
$ ./httpc get -v --header Content-Type:application/json 'http://postman-echo.com/get?foo1=bar1&foo2=bar2'
$ Client (UDP mode)
$ ./httpc post --udp -v -p '/some/hello.txt' -d 'HEY THERE YOU!' 'localhost:8007'
$ ./httpc get --udp -v -p '/some/hello.txt' 'localhost:8007'
$ ./httpc get --udp -v -p '/build' 'localhost:8007'NOTE 1: The format of the host url in UDP mode should not contain anything other than the host name/address with the
port separated by a colon (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8007 or localhost:8007) and if needed a path specifier using the -p option
(e.g. -p /some/file.txt or -p /some/directory.
NOTE 2: The router in UDP mode for the server must be running on localhost on port 3000.
