Hi I am trying to create a simple webserver program in python 3.2.2 and I want the server to process different methods other than GET and POST. These methods are handled by default by the library.
I want to handle a OPTIONS method and I used a do_OPTIONS() method to handle it. But the programs still doesnt recognize this method. Can someone please help me with that.
import string,cgi,time
from os import curdir, sep
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
#import pri
class MyHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
try:
if self.path.endswith(".html"):
f = open(curdir + sep + self.path) #self.path has /test.html
#note that this potentially makes every file on your computer readable by the internet
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html')
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(f.read())
f.close()
return
if self.path.endswith(".esp"): #our dynamic content
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html')
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write("hey, today is the" + str(time.localtime()[7]))
ctype, pdict = cgi.parse_header(self.headers.getheader('content-type'))
if ctype == 'multipart/form-data':
query=cgi.parse_multipart(self.rfile, pdict)
self.send_response(301)
self.end_headers()
upfilecontent = query.get('upfile')
print (("filecontent", upfilecontent[0]))
self.wfile.write("<HTML>POST OK.<BR><BR>");
self.wfile.write(upfilecontent[0]);
except :
pass
def do_OPTIONS(self):
try:
self.send_response(200)
except:
pass
def main():
try:
server = HTTPServer(('', 5080), MyHandler)
print ('started httpserver...')
server.serve_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print ('^C received, shutting down server')
server.socket.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()and I get the below error:
