Web Server
In this video, I guide you step-by-step on how to create a simply and innovative web server in Python! Here is my code below in case you need it:
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer. # Importing libraries
hostName = "localhost" # Creating a variable that stores the string "localhost"
serverPort = 8080 # Creating a variable that stores your server port
class MyServer(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): # Initialize a class that takes in the RequestHandler
def do_GET(self):
self.send_response(200) # Send a 200 response to make sure that website is running
self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html") # Start the HTML page to start adding components
self.end_headers() # End the headers so that body can be added to
self.wfile.write(bytes("<html><head><title>My server</title></head></html>", "utf-8")) # Set up the name of the tab
self.wfile.write(bytes("<body>", "utf-8")) # Start the body
self.wfile.write(bytes("<p><b>This is so cool!!</b></p>", "utf-8")) # Write text inside the body
self.wfile.write(bytes("</body></html>", "utf-8")) # End the body
if __name__ == "__main__": # If the program is run, then run the actions below
webServer = HTTPServer((hostName, serverPort), MyServer) # Creating a variable that stores the location of the server
print("Server started at: http://%s:%s" % (hostName, serverPort)) # Printing the link of the server
try:
webServer.serve_forever() # Run the server forever
except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass # If user interrupts program with keyboard, then stop program
webServer.server_close()
print("Server Stopped. You can't access it anymore.") # Let the user know that they can't access the server anymore
