    Post Need help creating an HTTP client program - will PayPal compensate the volunteer

    Hello,

    I am new to the forum so please feel free to move the Thread to the correct category.

    To make the long story short, I have basic programming skills and I have to create a program in C. I cannot do it and need someone to do it for me.

    The task is:

    Implement an HTTP client and the corresponding proxy-server that works as an application gateway used for authentication of the internal clients willing to connect to the internet.
    There is a template for the server and for the client as well as some given procedures.

    Pretty much everything is given and just needs to be put together and modified on places.

    I have a diagram, task description, procedures and other C examples.

    If interested, please contact me via PM.

    Thanks!

    It is a 45 min university task... not big deal.

    It took you 3 hours to say it was a 45 minute job (how do you know it's that long?).
    What have you been doing all that time?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    This is the time frame provided to solve it. Several people were able to do it for less than 1h.
    So far nobody even asked to see the task...
    If you have any suggestions for freelance websites/forums I would appreciate it... but I still believe there are a lot of people reading this forum that can solve it in no time...

    Hmm... you are asking for someone to do your homework for you because you "have basic programming skills and (you) have to create a program in C. (You) cannot do it and need someone to do it for (you)"?

    I've got money says both people who responded can do it.

    That isn't hardly the point of homework though is it?

    You are the one who is supposed to do it.

    Besides we have enough garbage entering the ranks.

    I understand the point of the homework.
    The problem is that I am focused in a completely different matter and I had to choose this programming course to fulfill my credits.
    If nobody wants to help then feel free to delete this thread.

    The reason why this programming course was required is that it would impart some skills that would complement your knowledge of that "completely different matter". Likewise, I did modules in the sciences, and even augmented my knowledge and understanding with modules on economics, history and culture.
