I was working through a tutorial about how to write a server using python (the url is bellow). I am sure that the server is working to some degree because when the server is running localhost:8080 just keeps trying to load until it times out. I would like to know how to send information through the server to my browser?
I was working through this tutorial: http://python.about.com/od/networkingwithpython/ss/PythonWebServer.htm and my final code is like this: import socket host = '' port = 8080 c = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) c.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) c.bind((host, port)) c.listen(1) while 1: csock, caddr = c.accept() cfile = csock.makefile('rw', 0) line = cfile.readline().strip() cfile.write('HTTP/1.0 200 OK\n\n') cfile.write('<html><head><title>Welcome %s!</title></head>' % (str(caddr))) cfile.write('<body><h1>Follow the link...</h1>') cfile.write('All the server needs to do is ') cfile.write('to deliver the text to the socket. ') cfile.write('It delivers the HTML code for a link, ') cfile.write('and the web browser converts it. <br><br><br><br>') cfile.write('<font size="7"><center> <a href="http://python.about.com/ index.html">Click me!</a> </center></font>') cfile.write('<br><br>The wording of your request was: "%s"' %(line)) cfile.write('</body></html>') cfile.close() csock.close() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
