TCPserver

Project seperated in 3 parts:

1. WEBCREATOR :
    Bash script that help us initialize a root directory for our server with w sites and p pages.
    Also every page contains internal/external links to other pages in same/different site.
    Run: ./webcreator.sh ./root_dir leagues_jv_sea.txt w p

2. WEBSERVER :
    HTTP Server that serves clients who request pages of root directory.Uses sockets to listen to 2 ports.
    In service port waits for http requests and lets other threads that has created to replay.
    In command port whats for user commands(like **STATS** to give statistics for running time and served
    requests and **SHUTDOWN** to terminate).
    Run: ./myhttpd -p <service_port> -c <command_port> -d ../root_dir -t <num_of_threads>
    (better to run in webserver directory)

3. WEBCRAWLER :
    Starting from one URL(aka page from root dir) tries to request all pages and in the end copy root
    directory to save_dir.At the same time,on command port waits for user commands(same as webserver
    and a new SEARCH command(typing "SEARCH word1 ... [max]word10") to search for any of those words in
    save_dir(forking a new process and running jobExecutor)).
    Run: ./mycrawler -h <server_host_or_IP> -p <server_s_port> -c <c_port> -d ../save_dir -t <n_threads> <starting_URL>
    (must run in webcrawler directory)

Users can connect on command port using telnet( "telnet <command_port>" )!
