A simple way of serving up simple JSON. Converted to Python 3 from https://gist.github.com/nitaku/10d0662536f37a087e1b
Changes:
| from http.server import HTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler | |
| # import socketserver | |
| import json | |
| import cgi | |
| class Server(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): | |
| def _set_headers(self): | |
| self.send_response(200) | |
| self.send_header('Content-type', 'application/json') | |
| self.end_headers() | |
| def do_HEAD(self): | |
| self._set_headers() | |
| # GET sends back a Hello world message | |
| def do_GET(self): | |
| self._set_headers() | |
| self.wfile.write(json.dumps({"hello": "pank"}).encode()) | |
| # POST echoes the message adding a JSON field | |
| def do_POST(self): | |
| ctype, pdict = cgi.parse_header(self.headers.get('content-type')) | |
| # refuse to receive non-json content | |
| if ctype != 'application/json': | |
| self.send_response(400) | |
| self.end_headers() | |
| return | |
| # read the message and convert it into a python dictionary | |
| length = int(self.headers.get('content-length')) | |
| message = json.loads(self.rfile.read(length)) | |
| # add a property to the object, just to mess with data | |
| message['received'] = 'ok' | |
| # send the message back | |
| self._set_headers() | |
| self.wfile.write(json.dumps(message).encode()) | |
| def run(server_class=HTTPServer, handler_class=Server, port=8008): | |
| server_address = ('', port) | |
| httpd = server_class(server_address, handler_class) | |
| print( 'Starting httpd on port %d...' % port) | |
| httpd.serve_forever() | |
| if __name__ == "__main__": | |
