Progress

I have heard back from my tutor today and so far it seems that my project is running along the right lines. I am working on two main areas at the moment.

  1. At present I am attempting to write up the negotiated requirements document ready for the meeting next Saturday.
  2. I am also attempting to write a webserver in C++ as a basis of a REST server. This is all new territory to me since I haven't worked with sockets before, let alone write a webserver. So far the intial attempts have worked quite well, I can receive from a web browser, however I haven't managed to send in return yet. The server I plan to build will only work on a subset of the HTTP specification since it doesn't need to be a full web server it just needs to respond correctly to REST messaging. This area of the project is by far the biggest part of the project for me.
