Liminal Network Space Server

Important Note

This server must be running before starting the client application. The client connects to this server at http://localhost:3000.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14.0.0 or newer)
• npm or yarn

Installation and Setup

1. Clone or Download the Repository

git clone https://github.com/ahref13/existential_server.git
# or download and extract the ZIP file

2. Install Dependencies

Navigate to the project directory and install dependencies:

cd liminal-network-server
npm install

3. Run the Server

node index.js

You should see the following output in your console:

Liminal Network Space server running at http://localhost:3000
Ready to receive requests and respond with random delays and status codes

Server Behavior

The server is designed to:

1. Listen for HTTP requests on port 3000
2. Introduce a random delay between 3-15 seconds for each request
3. Respond with a random HTTP status code (100-599)

Troubleshooting

• Port Already in Use: If port 3000 is already being used, you'll need to change the port in the server code and update the client accordingly
• Connection Issues: Ensure there are no firewall rules blocking connections to port 3000
