In this tutorial, we will explore how to create a simple HTTP server using Python 3. We'll use the built-in http.server module, which provides a basic HTTP server that can serve static files. This is useful for quickly sharing files or testing web applications locally.
Open your favorite text editor or integrated development environment (IDE).
Create a new Python file, for example, simple_server.py.
Add the following code to create a basic HTTP server:
In this example, we use http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler to handle requests and serve static files from the current directory. You can change the port and directory variables according to your requirements.
Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory containing your simple_server.py file.
Run the following command to start the server:
This will start the HTTP server on the specified port, and you should see a message like "Serving on port 8000."
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 (or the port you specified). You should see a listing of files and directories in the server's directory. Click on any HTML file to view it in your browser.
To stop the server, go back to the terminal where the server is running and press Ctrl+C. This will terminate the server.
Congratulations! You've just created a simple HTTP server in Python 3. You can now use this server to quickly share files or test web applications locally.
