Creating a Simple Python HTTP Client
In this video you will learn to create a simple HTTP client in Python which you can use to test HTTP connections and the success of server installs. Even though you can use curl or w3m from the Linux CLI, making use of your own Python 3 script helps you learn more about TCP connections and Python
import socket
import sys
def http_request(host, port):
http_client = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
http_client.connect((host, port))
http_client.send(b"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: " + host.encode() + b"\r\n\r\n")
response = http_client.recv(4096)
print(response.decode("utf-8"))
http_client.close()
if _name_ == "__main__":
if len(sys.argv) != 3:
print("Usage: python3 http.py host port")
else:
host = sys.argv[1]
port = int(sys.argv[2])
http_request(host,port)
