I'm playing a little with Python 3.2.2 and want to write a simple web server to access some data remotely. This data will be generated by Python so I don't want to use the SimpleHTTPRequestHandler as it's a file server, but a handler of my own.
I copied some example from the internet but I'm stuck because the response outputstream refuses to write the body content.
This is my code:
import http.server import socketserver PORT = 8000 class MyHandler(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_HEAD(self): self.send_response(200) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html") self.end_headers() def do_GET(self): self.send_response(200) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html") self.end_headers() print(self.wfile) self.wfile.write("<html><head><title>Title goes here.</title></head>") self.wfile.write("<body><p>This is a test.</p>") # If someone went to "http://something.somewhere.net/foo/bar/", # then s.path equals "/foo/bar/". self.wfile.write("<p>You accessed path: %s</p>" % self.path) self.wfile.write("</body></html>") self.wfile.close() try: server = http.server.HTTPServer(('localhost', PORT), MyHandler) print('Started http server') server.serve_forever() except KeyboardInterrupt: print('^C received, shutting down server') server.socket.close() What should be a correct code for writing the response body?
Thanks a lot.
Edit:
The error is:
... File "server.py", line 16, in do_GET self.wfile.write("<html><head><title>Title goes here.</title></head>") File "C:\Python32\lib\socket.py", line 297, in write return self._sock.send(b) TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface 
465
In Python3 string is a different type than that in Python 2.x. Cast it into bytes using either
self.wfile.write(bytes("<html><head><title>Title goes here.</title></head>/html>","utf-8")) or
self.wfile.write("<html><head><title>Title goes here.</title></head></html>".encode("utf-8")) For Python 3, prefix the string literals with a b:
self.wfile.write(b"<foo>bar</foo>") If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
