I am trying to create a local HTTP server for Flask.

Server starts successfully but when i try to run the localhost:5000 in web browser i get this error


class webserverhandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):

def do_GET(self):
    try:
        if self.path.endswith("/"):
            self.send_response(200)
            self.send_header('Content-Type','text/html')
            self.end_headers()

            output=""
            output+="<html><body>Hello</body></html>"

            self.wfile.write(output)
            print (output)
            return

    except IOError:
        self.send_error(404,"File Not Found %s" % self.path)


def main():
try:
    port=5000
    server=HTTPServer(('',port),webserverhandler)
    print ("webserver running on %s" % port)
    server.serve_forever()


except KeyboardInterrupt:
    server.socket.close()

You can encode your output variable into a bytes_object like this:

self.wfile.write(output.encode())

It seems you are using Python3, where string literals are unicode (str) objects by default. Use the b-prefix

output = b""
output += b"<html><body>Hello</body></html>"

to create a bytes-object.
