HTTP Server

HTTP is the protocol that browsers use to retrieve and push information to
servers. Here's how you could retrieve the about page of a website:

GET /[Link] HTTP/1.0

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0

And here's how you could send some form data to a web server, using the
POST method:

POST /[Link] HTTP/1.0

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Content-Length: 21

name=John&surname=Doe

Sample Code

import [Link]

import socketserver

class MyHttpRequestHandler([Link]):

def do_GET(self):

if [Link] == '/':

[Link] = '[Link]'
return [Link].do_GET(self)

# Create an object of the above class

handler_object = MyHttpRequestHandler

PORT = 8000

my_server = [Link](("[Link]", PORT), handler_object)

# Star the server

my_server.serve_forever()

Implement your own HTTP server, so that you can host a dynamic website on it. Implement the
do_put(self) to save the details of a registration page in a txt file.
