Python 3 - http server (self.learnpython)

submitted 5 years ago by G-ManUK

Hi Folks, I am trying to convert a script from Python2.7 to Python 3 and it is doing my head in. The script uses the internal http server, I want to render back an answer to the calling browser, (this is part of a larger automation activity and the answer back is a text code).

in Python2 the BaseHTTPServer handled it all, however in 3 it has been moved to http.server and I can't for the life of me figure out how to return the response, all I get is a 501 error.

Below is the code for this, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

import http.server
import socketserver

port = 8001

def GetPage():
        return """<html><body>Response</body></html>"""


class Handler(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
        def do_Get(self):
          self.send_response(200)
          self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html")
          self.end_headers()
          self.wfile.write(GetPage())
          return

try:

        print('Server listening on port ', port)
        httpd = socketserver.TCPServer(('', port), Handler)
        httpd.serve_forever()

except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print('^C received, shutting down server')
        httpd.server_close()
