I am looking to set up a basic Python server on a Windows system to test CGI scripts that will ultimately run on a Unix environment. However, when I access the site, it displays a blank page with no source code visible. I am struggling to identify the issue.
Server
from http.server import HTTPServer, CGIHTTPRequestHandler
class Handler(CGIHTTPRequestHandler):
cgi_directories = ["/cgi-bin"]
PORT = 8080
httpd = HTTPServer(("", PORT), Handler)
print("serving at port", PORT)
httpd.serve_forever()
httpd.serve_forever()
App:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import cgi, cgitb
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
# Get data from fields
first_name = form.getvalue('first_name')
last_name = form.getvalue('last_name')
print ("Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n")
print ("<html>")
print ("<head>")
print ("<title>Hello - Second CGI Program</title>")
print ("</head>")
print ("<body>")
print ("<h2>Hello %s %s</h2>" % (first_name, last_name))
print ("</body>")
print ("</html>")
When I try to view the program in my web browser, the output is a downloadable file with its name. Although the file seems to have executed, I am not receiving a functional website. What could be causing this issue?
