Submission and Evaluation

• Extract sample test files tarball into your web server’s document root
• Place your Dockerfile at the root of your repository (not inside of a nested folder)
• Make your Dockerfile run your server on port 80 by default
• Release your implementation with the a1 tag
• Submissions will be evaluated using a variation of cs531a1 test suite from our testing service and some manual inspection of responses and source code (if necessary)
• Tests will be performed based on the contents and structure of the a1-test folder of the sample test files
