ECS 189H Assignment 4
Server for both static and dynamic queries

Please submit by 12 midnight, Thursday May 11, using Canvas.

In this first assignment we'll start setting up the server to handle our photo sorting application, and get the interaction between the server and the browser going.

• Start off by logging into your server account on 138.68.35.50, our server, using your Kerberos login, get your port number, and add it to the server from Monday's lecture, server2.js. Try it out!
• Now check out the documentation for the npm module node-static, which can be used to add a static server.
• Make a sub-directory off of your home directory called public, and put your Weather App program there.
• Now copy server2 to server3, and edit server3 so that if there is no query, it tries to serve a static file from the public directory. Use the node-static module. Check to see that you can load your Weather App. Just to be clear, your server should be able to serve any static html, css, js, or other files from /public or any of it's subdirectories, not just your Weather app. Any directory structure for your Weather app such that it works is fine.
• If you want (not required, but will be for next iteration so why not do it now), you can have your server respond with a "404 not found" page if it gets a request for a static file that is not in the /public directory. There is some documentation on how to do this on npm, in the section on "serving specific files". Notice that the static file server object changes its name from "file" to "fileServer" (grrr).
