Develop a small web server that does the following:
•Handles only one HTTP request at a time;
•Accepts and parses the HTTP request;
•Gets the requested file from the server's file system;
•Creates an HTTP response message consisting of the requested file preceded by header lines;
•Sends the response directly to the requesting browser.
Below you will find the skeleton code for your Web server. The places where you need to fill in code are marked with #Fill in start and #Fill in end. Each place may require one or more lines of code.
#import socket module
from socket import *
serverSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
#Prepare a sever socket
#Fill in start
#Fill in end
while True:
#Establish the connection
print 'Ready to serve...'
connectionSocket, addr = # Fill in start #Fill in end
try:
message = #Fill in start #Fill in end
filename = message.split()[1]
f = open(filename[1:])
outputdata = #Fill in start #Fill in end
#Send one HTTP header line into socket
#Fill in start
#Fill in end
#Send the content of the requested file to the client
for i in range(0, len(outputdata)):
connectionSocket.send(outputdata[i])
connectionSocket.close()
except IOError:
#Send response message for file not found
#Fill in start
#Fill in end
#Close client socket
#Fill in start
#Fill in end
serverSocket.close()
