bare bones HTTP
Write a command line client which will fetch an
page from an httpd server, something like wget or
lwp-rget. You can use the relay
program described in class to see what the protocl
looks like. You need not implement more than the
simplest dialog - unless of course you'd like to.
(An example of this may be found from those
in Lincoln Stein's book - see, for example,
web_fetch.pl.)
Or, write a simple httpd server. For the simplest
case this is easier than you might think - the server
figures out which file is requested, reads it off
the disk, and sends it back to the client.
If you're really having fun, you could also have
it execute .cgi files and send back the output...
