Running Web Server

• Go to 5_web-server-async
• Run make command from src or tests and the start server with ./aws
• Request file as such (from a different terminal window):

echo -ne "GET /static/small00.dat HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n" | \
        nc -q 1 localhost "8888" > small00.dat 2> /dev/null

Running Lambda Server

• Go to 6_lambda-function-server
• Run make command from src and the start server with ./server

## Starting the server
user@os:.../6_lambda-function-loader/src$ make
user@os:.../6_lambda-function-loader/src$ ./server

• Request function as such:

## Client
#
# Open another terminal and instruct the client to send a library to the server.
# Please remember the calling convention for client
# ./client <libname> [<function> [<file>]]
#
# Note: When <function> is not provided, the server will execute the `run` function.
user@os:.../6_lambda-function-loader/$ cd tests
user@os:.../6_lambda-function-loader/tests$ make
user@os:.../6_lambda-function-loader/tests$ ./client $(realpath libbasic.so)
Output file: /<root-project-folder>/6_lambda-function-loader/tests/output/out-bSJdTv

user@os:.../6_lambda-function-loader/tests$ cat /<root-project-folder>/6_lambda-function-loader/tests/output/out-bSJdTv
run
