Week 6 – Work on PA3 (Chat Server)

Work on your PA3! Your tutors are here to help.

You are welcome to work with your classmates, share ideas, and so on.

In your notes doc, you should be able to show by the end of the lab:

• You loading a URL via curl or browser a request on one of your classmates' chat servers that shows adding at least one chat, or part of a chat.
• One of your classmates loading a URL via curl or browser on your chat server that shows adding at least one chat, or part of a chat.

If you think you're all the way done with PA3, here are some suggestions:

• Implement threads in your chat server.
• Right now the chat server allows anyone to post with any username. Brainstorm ways to have a user who uses a username first “claim” it somehow, so others can't. HINT: add a path for “registering” a username and share a secret between the server and the user to recognize them in the future.
