Server Caching

Created a multithreaded web proxy server that supports GET method and implements caching.

Project Tasks: • Create a ServerSocket object to monitor the port 8080 or other ports from input; • If receive client request, create a new thread to process the request. Also a new socket is • created for the connection with client; • The ServerSocket object continues monitoring; • Parse the request line and headers sent by the client. • If the new request matches a past one, the proxy server will directly return the cached data. • Send request to “real” Web server. A HTTP response including the requested file will be • Received at the proxy server. • The thread reads in the instream, get the file name and the content; • Forward the content to the Client. • Close the socket, and end the thread.
