    Describe the working of HTTP cookies. Describe its advantages and disadvantages. (CLO- 2,
    SO-2) (Marks 10).
    2
    3

    Question no 2:
    Answer the following question regarding the working of DNS. (CLO-2, SO-2) (Marks 20).
    a. Suppose a user has webserver running at a system with domain name
    www.cuiwah.edu.pk with IP address 203.124.43.197. Its authoritative DNS is
    ns1.comsats.net.pk with IP address 210.56.11.130. How will the record of
    domain name www.cuiwah.edu.pk and its IP address 203.124.43.197 will be
    inserted in the DNS hierarchy.
    4

    b. After inserting the domain name and its IP address in Q3(a), suppose a user
    wants to find the IP address of www.cuiwah.edu.pk . The user is connected
    to local DNS server 192.168.1.1. Describe in the step-by-step how the user’s
    DNS query for www.cuiwah.edu.pk will be resolved.
    c. If there is no DNS, can we access the web and email servers? Explain the
    reason for your answer.
    d. Describe the main advantage and disadvantage of DNS.

    Question no 3:
    5

    Consider an e-commerce site that wants to keep a purchase record for each of its customers.
    Describe how this can be done with cookies. (CLO-2, SO-2) (Marks 10).
    6

    Question no 4:
    Look over your received e-mails and examine the header of a message sent from a user with
    a .edu e-mail address. Is it possible to determine from the header the IP address of the host
    from which the message was sent? Do the same for a message sent from a Gmail account.
    (CLO-2, SO-2) (Marks 10).
    7

    Question no 5:
    Write a Python program that applies socket programming to establish a TCP connection
    between a client and a server for file transfer. (CLO-2, SO-2) (Marks 10).
    Server-code:
    package com.mycompany.server2;

    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintStream;
    import java.net.ServerSocket;
    import java.net.Socket;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Server2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {


    try {
    ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(9039);
    System.out.println("Server started, waiting for connections...");

    while (true) {
    // Wait for client connection
    Socket s = ss.accept();
    System.out.println("Connection Established with client.");

    // Send a message to the client


    PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(s.getOutputStream());
    // ps.println("Greeting From Comsats")
    Scanner sc= new Scanner (System.in);
    8

    System.out.println("Enter Message to be Send.");


    String str = sc.nextLine();
    ps.print(str);

    ps.flush(); // Ensure message is sent

    // Close socket connection after sending message


    s.close();
    System.out.println("Connection closed with client.");
    }
    } catch (IOException e) {
    System.err.println("Server exception: " + e.getMessage());
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
    }

    Client code:
    package com.mycompany.client2;

    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.net.Socket;
    import java.net.UnknownHostException;
    9

    public class Client2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {


    try {
    System.out.println("Attempting to connect to server...");
    Socket s = new Socket("localhost", 9039);

    // Reading the message from the server


    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
    InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
    String msg = br.readLine();

    if (msg != null) {
    System.out.println("Message received from server: " + msg);
    } else {
    System.out.println("No message received.");
    }

    // Close socket connection


    s.close();
    System.out.println("Client socket closed.");
    } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
    System.err.println("Client exception: Unknown host " + e.getMessage());
    } catch (IOException e) {
    System.err.println("Client exception: I/O error " + e.getMessage());
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
    }

    Question no 6:
    Suppose Alice, with a Web-based e-mail account (such as Hotmail or Gmail), sends a
    message to Bob, who accesses his mail from his mail server using POP3. Discuss how the
    message gets from Alice’s host to Bob’s host. Be sure to list the series of application-layer
    protocols that are used to move the message between the two hosts. (CLO-2, SO-2) (Marks
    10).
