Proxy TCP Sockets

About The Project

TCP proxy program using sockets that counts the vowels in the text sent to it. Acting as an intermediary, it receives text input from a client and forwards it to the server while simultaneously counting the number of vowels present.

This project was made for the Computer Networks Subject of Universidad de Zaragoza.

Pre-requisites Installation

GCC

• Linux: Execute the following commands in the terminal:

  sudo apt update &&
  sudo apt install gcc
  

• macOS: Use the following command in the terminal to install Flex with Homebrew:

  brew install gcc
  

Usage

1. Compile the code using the make command. This will build the executable files for the server and client:

   make all

2. Run the server proxy. Replace with the desired port number (e.g., 8080):

   ./bin/srv_voc_TCP <port>

   Or You can use to start the proxy with the following line:

   ./scripts/lanza_proxy_srv.sh

3. Open another terminal or command prompt window and navigate to the same directory and run the client. Replace <server_IP>, , and <input_file> with appropriate values. For example:

   ./bin/cli_voc_TCP <server_IP> <port> inputs/f1KB.txt

The client will send the specified input file to the server, which will then count the number of vowels and display the result.
