This is an HTTP web server written in Python.
As an exercise to learn socket programming for a networking course, we were tasked with developing a web server that can handle single HTTP requests at a time. We were then also tasked with writing a web client that could send requests to the web server and display the server response.

To start the server, open a terminal and run python server.py in the repository directory.
Once the server has been started, you can open the web url <ip address>:<port>/HelloWorld.html to connect to a default demo page using your browser of choice. If you provide a non-existent html file instead of HelloWorld.html, it will instead return a plaintext 404 error page.
Alternatively you can open another seperate terminal and run python client.py <ip address> <port> <html file>, which will respond with the header and html file contents being printed to the terminal.
