Server Perspective

1. Load up config
2. Setup a thread and have it handle only incoming connections
   • To check the client's purpose, have client send in inital message byte
     • 0x1 - Authenticates as chat client (require chat OID)
     • 0x2 - Authenticates as file upload client (require file upload OID)
     • 0x3 - Authenticates as file request client (require chat OID)
3. Setup thread to accept user message or upload
4. Setup thread to relay the messages among the users

• Race Condition: Use <EOF> to detect end of the message to prevent latency from mixing multiple different message submissions.
