How to properly send HTTP response with Python using socket library only?

问题


I have a very simple web sever written in Python. It listens on port 13000, how can I make it deliver a simple "Hello World" webpage if http://localhost:13000 is opened in browser?

Right there is my code:

# set up socket and connection
while True:
    sock, addr = servSock.accept()
    # WHAT GOES HERE?
    sock.close()

As you can see, I am not exactly sure how to actually send back the webpage?

I only have to use the socket library.

EDIT: The problem is not that I don't know how to formulate the HTTP response, I don't know how to actually make it display in my browser! It just keeps spinning/loading.

Updated according to question change

Possibly, it keeps spinning because in combination of absense of Content-Length and Connection headers, browser may assume it's Connection: keep-alive, so it continues to receive data from your server forever. Try to send Connection: close, and pass actual Content-Length to see if that helps.


Won't this do what you expect it to? :)

Send back something like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:29:04 GMT
Server: Python/6.6.6 (custom)
Content-Type: text/html

Then the actual html code. Make sure there is a newline after the Content-Type line and before the html.




回答3:


# set up socket and connection
while True:
sock, addr = servSock.accept()
sock.send("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n"
         +"Content-Type: text/html\n"
         +"\n" # Important!
         +"<html><body>Hello World</body></html>\n");
sock.close()

or, if you just don't want to remember the full protocol, you can find it again using :

 % nc stackoverflow.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: stackoverflow.com

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: public, max-age=60
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Expires: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:33:49 GMT
Last-Modified: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:32:49 GMT
Vary: *
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:32:49 GMT
Content-Length: 206008

[...]
 % 

well, you shall usually prefer a site that is less verbose (usually serving only a static file) than stackoverflow ;)

The minimal requirements (you'll find on the answer) is :

sock.send(r'''HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello, world!

''')

two returns are mandatory for the server to get the answer, otherwise the browser waits indefinitely for headers

But to mimic the behaviour of a webserver, don't forget to send your answer only after the browser sends you some data followed by two carriage returns, usually you can get what it sends using :

 % nc -kl localhost 13000
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:13000
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0...
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
DNT: 1
Connection: keep-alive

 %

so you can improve your test routines

I took a previous answer and edited the code for Python3 utf-8 and bytes encoding. Thanks for the original answer it helped out a lot.

    prev_timeout = sock.gettimeout()

You might want to Checkout web objects http://www.webob.org/

It's a simple lightweight project for creating http compatible requests and responses. You can do just about anything with you requests/response objects ... Or just delegate the heavy lifting to WebObjects

Sample

>>> from webob import Response
>>> res = Response()
>>> res.status
'200 OK'
>>> res.headerlist
[('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'), ('Content-Length', '0')]
>>> res.body
''
