+# HTTP Single File Server 
+
+![picture](screenshots/screenshot1.png)
+
+***
+
+I'm happy to share with you my custom server written in Java.
+
+Network programming is very important. Remember that the Internet
+was created for that very reason: that is, computers
+must communicate to one another around the world and 
+data must arrive as soon as possible.
+
+Unlike C, in Java you don't need to do much complexity, Java
+does that exactly. But remember, data will always end as bytes.
+So, everything can be processed by a computer as long as the 
+programmer can represent the data as bytes.
+
+This custom server only accepts GET request by browsers and 
+you can further enhance it by adding implementation for other
+HTTP methods. And since this is a webserver, we want also to have
+port 80, but then again, you can easily change that in the main method.
+
+Remember that both servers and
+browsers can pass data to one another, but typically a browser will always
+initiate the connection while the server is just always waiting for a connection.
+The same is true for other servers like Telnet or FTP servers.
+
+Yet, HTTP is good also to pass any data as long
+as it is expressed in bytes. HTTP is so famous now as it is the protocol of
+web servers and browsers, so more often, we always link HTTP for web sites.
+Also, updated browsers nowadays can display more than text documents like PDF and
+images and even markdown files.
+
+Also, bytes are not even numbers, they are just representation for us humans because
+a computer can only understand the presence or absence of an electrical pulse: that
+is, again, represented as 0 and 1. For today, of course, typical users will hate seeing
+0s and 1s so programmers do the abstraction.
+
+## Q&A
+
+If you have questions, please feel free to ask me: 
+
+<[email protected]>
+   
+You can also create a pull request to start the discussion or query/ies.
+
+Or, you can raise an issue. I promise I will answer your questions. 
+
+## Compiling
+
+This is namespaced as package `xdvrx1_serverProject`. It is up to your IDE 
+how it actually manages Java projects. 
+
+Once you set this up correctly, the steps are:
+1. Compile the project.
+2. Run the project.
+3. Put `index.html` to your working directory
+and other sample files.
+3. Open a browser.
+4. Type in the address bar `localhost`.
+5. See the default web page!
+6. Access every file in that root directory
+by typing the filename relative to that directory
+or just create a list on the default web page.
+7. If you are quite confused, you can download my release.
+
+Remember also that the `index.html`
+is the default web page, manually coded to do so. You can change that.
+
+Once you created the executable jar file,
+all files within the directory of this executable jar file
+can be accessed through this server. 
+
+As my example, in my release the executable jar file must
+have its own folder, then inside that folder is the default page
+`index.html`, then you can create subfolder, in my case, 
+`data` and you can put files there to be serve by this webserver.
