HTTP Client in Assembly

This project is a simple HTTP client implemented in Assembly language. It is capable of making HTTP requests to a specified server and receiving responses. The client supports the most common HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and OPTIONS.

Features

• HTTP/1.0 protocol support
• Supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and OPTIONS methods
• Parses URL and extracts hostname and URI
• Resolves hostname to IP address
• Connects to the server via a socket
• Sends HTTP request and receives response
• Error handling for socket creation, connection, and data transmission

How to Run Locally

This project uses Docker for easy setup and execution. You need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine to run this project.

Steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Build the Docker image and run the container using Docker Compose with the following command:

docker-compose up --build

This command will build a Docker image based on the provided Dockerfile, which installs the necessary dependencies, compiles the Assembly code, and runs the HTTP client. The client will make a request to http://www.google.com by default, as specified in the Dockerfile.

Please note that this HTTP client is a low-level implementation for educational purposes and is not intended for production use. It does not support HTTPS, and error handling is minimal. For production use, consider using a high-level HTTP client library or tool.

Known Issues

• The response body is not being read completely. The client reads only the first part of the response body and stops reading after a certain point for some reason.
