a client/server

A server in one domain, and a client in another(local) domain. where delay, and autoshutdown parameters were sent as command line args.

It had 3 requests: Addr request, where the ascii (human readable) address was sent, along with the port, and the server serviced the request with a numeric ipv4 sent back to the client. A filesize request, a filename along with the path on the server was sent, and the size of the file was returned. A getfile request, where the file starting from the offset would be sent back, and an md5 checksum would be computed on the fly client side.

Transfer of bytes (send and recv) was in 1 byte per service.Implemented pthreads server side so that the server would create multiple instances of servicable code when ever a new connection arrived, and wouldn't sacrifice as much of resource power as a fork() would.
