I am trying to make a BaseHTTPServer program. I prefer to use Python 3.3 or 3.2 for it. I find the doc hard to understand regarding what to import but tried changing the import from:
from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer to:
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer and then the import works and the program start and awaits a GET request. BUT when the request arrives an exception is raised:
File "C:\Python33\lib\socket.py", line 317, in write return self._sock.send(b) TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface Question: Is there a version of BaseHTTPServer or http.server that works out of the box with Python3.x or am I doing something wrong?
This is "my" program that I try running in Python 3.3 and 3.2:
#!/usr/bin/python # from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer PORT_NUMBER = 8080 # This class will handle any incoming request from # a browser class myHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): # Handler for the GET requests def do_GET(self): print ('Get request received') self.send_response(200) self.send_header('Content-type','text/html') self.end_headers() # Send the html message self.wfile.write("Hello World !") return try: # Create a web server and define the handler to manage the # incoming request server = HTTPServer(('', PORT_NUMBER), myHandler) print ('Started httpserver on port ' , PORT_NUMBER) # Wait forever for incoming http requests server.serve_forever() except KeyboardInterrupt: print ('^C received, shutting down the web server') server.socket.close() The Program work partly in Python2.7 but gives this exception after 2-8 requests:
error: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

You can run python http server on any port, default port is 8000. Try to use port number greater than 1024 to avoid conflicts. Then open your favourite browser and type localhost:9000 . Yeah!
Python docs claim, that "http. server is not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks."
SimpleHTTPServer is a python module which allows you to instantly create a web server or serve your files in a snap. Main advantage of python's SimpleHTTPServer is you don't need to install anything since you have python interpreter installed.
Your program in python 3.xx does work right out of the box - except for one minor problem. The issue is not in your code but the place where you are writing these lines:
self.wfile.write("Hello World !") You are trying to write "string" in there, but bytes should go there. So you need to convert your string to bytes.
Here, see my code, which is almost same as you and works perfectly. Its written in python 3.4
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer import time hostName = "localhost" hostPort = 9000 class MyServer(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_GET(self): self.send_response(200) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html") self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(bytes("<html><head><title>Title goes here.</title></head>", "utf-8")) self.wfile.write(bytes("<body><p>This is a test.</p>", "utf-8")) self.wfile.write(bytes("<p>You accessed path: %s</p>" % self.path, "utf-8")) self.wfile.write(bytes("</body></html>", "utf-8")) myServer = HTTPServer((hostName, hostPort), MyServer) print(time.asctime(), "Server Starts - %s:%s" % (hostName, hostPort)) try: myServer.serve_forever() except KeyboardInterrupt: pass myServer.server_close() print(time.asctime(), "Server Stops - %s:%s" % (hostName, hostPort)) Please notice the way I convert them from string to bytes using the "UTF-8" encoding. Once you do this change in your program, your program should work fine.

You can just do like that:
self.send_header('Content-type','text/html'.encode()) self.end_headers() # Send the html message self.wfile.write("Hello World !".encode()) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
