The assignment consist of two parts, a programming part and a theory/documentation part. Please see the prerequisites section (in the README.md).
The work should be done in the teams GitHub repo which should be public. Whit a commit early and often (1) strategy, the recommendation is of course only to commit code and documentation that builds.
Implement a webserver using the .NET framework which can read the files from the content folder and make it accessible on a local webserver running on port 8080.
When making a request to a resources at the webserver (eg. a file in the content folder) should the following HTTP header be set to the correct value:
- ContentType, the correct content type of the file (eg. text/html)
- Etag, should be implemented as a MD5 hash of the file content
- Expires, should be set to one year from "now"
- StatusCodes, a usable status code should be returned (eg. 200 OK)
- Cookie, the server should return a cookie (see cookie subsection)
The webserver should also expose two dynamic pages.
The webserver should hold a cookie called counter. The cookie should be a session-cookie and for each session count the number of requests to the server.
By requesting /counter should the number of requests be shown (and just the number, no formatting).
In the initial request of the session is value of the cookie of course unknown, but it should be returned as part of the response, and this returned cookie value should be used as cookie value for all following requests.
The value of the counter-cookie should be an incremental value starting at "1". So the cookie created for the first session after the server is started has the value "1" and the second new session should have the value "2" etc.
A dynamic page should be implemented at /dynamic it should take two get parameters called input1 and input2. And the output should be the sum of the two inputs.
The page should the request header Accept into consideration. As default should the output be formatted as HTML and if the Accept-header is set to application/xml should the output be formatted as XML.
HTML example: <html><body>3</body></html>
XML example: <result><value>5</value></result>
In the folder DocsSrc is an more or less empty DocFx project. DocFx is compiled documentation written in markdown.
Your assignment is to fill the files:
- articles\HttpVersion2.md
- articles\WebserverArchitecture.md
- articles\SessionHijacking.md
- articles\AgileMethod.md
And to build the documentation for the source code to the webserver.
The run the documentation you can see the content of this by opening command-line and navigate to the DocsSrc folder, and write docfx .\docfx.json --serve --port 8081, then open your browser and navigate to localhost:8081.
Remember to include references to all resources you use.
