CS 395: Assignment Zero

The purpose of this assignment is to get you up to speed with using basic tools we'll need for the course. Please perform the following tasks:

Send an email to schmidt@dre.vanderbilt.edu with your email address so that I can create a mailing list for the class.
Download ACE and build ACE_ROOT/ace/ and ACE_ROOT/tests/ using your favorite compiler and favorite OS on your laptop or PC. When you are done, please run the ACE_ROOT/tests/SOCK_Send_Recv_Test test and send me the output.

 Access Web pages via HTTP -- Use the telnet
program to connect to a Web server (e.g.,
www.dre.vanderbilt.edu) at the HTTP port (port 80).  Once
you are connected, download the DOC group's welcome page, as follows:

% telnet www.dre.vanderbilt.edu 80
Trying 129.59.129.40...
Connected to www.dre.vanderbilt.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /

(lots of HTML omitted) 


Then, download my home page, as follows: 


% telnet www.dre.vanderbilt.edu 80
Trying 129.59.129.40...
Connected to www.dre.vanderbilt.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /~schmidt/index.html HTTP/1.0

(lots of HTML omitted)



Keep this output handy since it'll be used to validate the output from
your solution to assignment one, which will be available shortly.
