HTTP Server

This is a simple HTTP server implemented in Python using sockets. It provides a basic framework for handling GET and POST requests with custom routes and serving static files.

Getting Started

To use this HTTP server, follow these steps:

1. Import the HTTPServer class from modules.HTTPServer

from modules.HTTPServer import HTTPServer

2. Create a new instance of the HTTPServer class

server = HTTPServer('localhost', 8080)

3. Create callback functions for each route you want to handle

def index(request, response):
    response.set_body(b'Hello, World!')
    response.send()

def about(request, response):
    response.set_body(b'About page')
    response.send()

def forbidden(request, response):
    response.status(403).send(custom = b'Forbidden')

4. Add the routes to the server

server.get('/',callback=index)
server.get('/about',callback=about)
server.get('/forbidden',callback=forbidden)

5. Start the server

server.run()

Once the server is running, navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser to access the custom route for GET requests. For POST requests, you can use appropriate tools like curl or HTML forms.

Features

1. Request Handling

The server can handle incoming client requests. It parses the request and creates a corresponding Request object.

2. Response Handling

The server creates a Response object to construct the response and sends it back to the client.

3. Routing

You can add custom routes for GET and POST requests using the get() and post() methods, respectively.

4. Serving Static Files

The server is capable of serving static files located in the specified root directory.

5. Logging

The server logs incoming requests and responses to a file specified during initialization.

Example

from http_server import HTTPServer

def handle_get_request(request, response):
    response.status(200).send(b"Hello, World!")
    

def handle_post_request(request, response):
    # Custom logic to handle POST requests
    # ...
    pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
    server = HTTPServer('localhost', 8080)
    server.get('/', handle_get_request)
    server.post('/submit', handle_post_request)
    server.get('/static', root_dir = 'static')
    server.run()
