15-441 Project 2 FAQ Document

Checkpoint 1

(1) How do we determine the end of each request/response between the Flask application and routing daemon?

    The specification specifies that each request/response has a length field. You can use this field to know you have reached its end. (The examples in the original handout omitted this detail. They have been updated to reflect it.)

(2) Can we always assume that the path length is at most 9 characters?

    Yes. Some examples in the handout (in Extra Credits) are inconsistent with this; please follow the specification.
