I am currently learning about HTTP/CGI and exploring how to display HTML content on a webpage through the use of the socket library in Python. However, I am encountering some confusion regarding the correct syntax for this task:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import random
import socket
import time
s = socket.socket() # Creating a socket object
host = socket.getfqdn() # Retrieving the local machine name
port = 9082
s.bind((host, port)) # Binding to the specified port
print 'Initiating server on', host, port
print 'The URL for accessing this Web server would be http://%s:%d/' % (host, port)
s.listen(5) # Waiting for client connection.
print 'Entering an infinite loop; press CTRL-C to exit'
while True:
# Establishing connection with the client.
c, (client_host, client_port) = s.accept()
print 'Connection established from', client_host, client_port
c.send('Server Online\n')
c.send('HTTP/1.0 200 OK\n')
c.send('Content-Type: text/html\n')
c.send(' """\
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello World</h1> This is my server!
</body>
</html>
""" ')
c.close()
The first three lines using "c.send" are functioning properly. However, when it comes to incorporating HTML code in the last line, I encountered a syntax error.
