This repository contains the implementation of a simple HTTP server to fulfill the requirements outlined in the assignment.

The HTTP server is implemented using Express.js, a web application framework for Node.js.

• The server listens for incoming GET requests on the /data endpoint.
• It accepts two query parameters: n (file name) and m (line number).
• If both n and m are provided, it returns the content of the file /tmp/data/n.txt at line number m.
• If only n is provided, it returns the entire contents of the file /tmp/data/n.txt.

Random text files with around 100MB of content each are generated using a separate script named create-files.js. These files are stored in the /tmp/data directory.

A Dockerfile is included in the root project directory to build a Docker image of the HTTP server. The Dockerfile ensures the following requirements are met:

• Compatible with both ARM architecture and x86.
• Exposes port 8080.
• Allocates a maximum of 1500 MB RAM and 2 CPU cores to the Docker container.

• Node.js installed on your system.
• Docker installed on your system.

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Install dependencies using npm install.
3. Run the server using node server.js.
4. Access the server at http://localhost:8080.

1. Make sure Docker is running on your system.
2. Navigate to the root project directory.
3. Build the Docker image using docker build -t http-server ..
4. Run the Docker container using docker run -d --rm --name http-server -p 8080:8080 --memory 1500m --cpus 2 http-server:latest.

• The provided code is a basic implementation and may require further optimization and error handling based on specific requirements.
• Ensure to create the necessary random text files in the /tmp/data directory before running the server or building the Docker image.
• For further optimizations or improvements, consider implementing caching mechanisms, error handling for file operations, and performance tuning based on real-world usage scenarios.
