Questions

  1. [1] In simplegrep_async.js:14, what is the type of all of the symbols referenced in the function? Specifically, what is the type of lines, rawContents, and split?
  2. [1] If I create a line 24 in simplegrep_async.js that says 'console.log("finished!");', when will finished! be printed relative to the other output of the program?
  3. [1] What is a one-line change to tinywebserver.js that would make every HTTP response have a 404 response code?
  4. [1] How you could return a 403 error (access denied) to all requests from iPhones in tinywebserver.js? (Remember the User-Agent HTTP header.)
  5. [6] How would the behavior of form-demo changed when you make the following changes? Specifically, what changes would you see on the server and in the browser? Be sure to consider messages that are logged on the server and console output in the browser.
    1. Comment out form-demo/bin/www:7
    2. Change form-demo/bin/www:15 to be "var port=3000;".
    3. Change form-demo/app.js:13 to be "app.set('views', '.');"
    4. Comment out form-demo/routes/index.js:24
    5. Comment out form-demo/views/layout.jade:8
    6. Change the indentation of form-demo/views/index.jade:24 such that it is at the same indentation as form in line 8.

Solutions

  1. rawContents is a string, split is a method (function), lines is an array (of strings)
  2. finished! will be printed first, before any of the matched lines.
  3. Change line 42 to be "status=404;";
  4. Before line 92 add the following code: if (request.headers.user-agent && request.headers.user-agent.indexOf("iPhone")) { return respond(request, response, 403); } else // just before if on line 92
    1. The program would terminate at the first reference to app (line 16) because app is no longer defined.
    2. It would function identically unless the PORT environment variable were set, in which case its value would be ignored rather than being used to set the listening port.
    3. The app would now look for jade templates in the top-level directory rather than in views/. If the templates were not moved the app would terminate with an error saying it couldn't find a specified jade file the moment a page was requested that had a route that used a jade template.
    4. No routes would be defined so none of the URLs specified in routes would work (/, /add, /list).
    5. The pages /, /add, and /list would all have empty HTML <body> but the same <head>.
    6. The Submit button's position on in / will change its position slightly and the button will do nothing - it will no longer submit the form.
