This project was made by Jeremy Ahn for CSE 310 assignment 1 at Stony Brook University. A TCP socket app, this requires both a server and a client. The client sends the server an email address and the server refers to its directory to check and see if a corresponding first and last name is available.
This service was written in Python 3.
To use the service, the server IP address and port must first be initialized. At the top both server.py and client.py source codes, the corresponding variables HOST (a string) and PORT (an integer) can be adjusted appropriately.
After the IP and port number is defined in both files, the server.py script would be run on the server and client.py on the client. Both can be run via the following commands:
On Linux:
(server)
sudo python server.py
(client)
python client.py
On Windows:
(server)
py server.py
(client)
py client.py
- If you press enter without giving any input, the client will terminate.
- Input must be less than 255 characters long.
- Input must be of proper email format
([email protected]).
To enter new emails into the address book, you can go to the top of the server.py file and add to the addressbook dictionary. Just like how as aforementioned emails must be less than 255 characters long, name strings (first + last names or theoretically anything you want) must be less than 255 characters long.
In this version, multithreading is not supported.
