wfile

Synopsis

The h .wfile attribute is a file-like object open for writing, to which you can write the response body after calling send_response, optionally send_header, and end_headers.

As an example, here’s a trivial HTTP server that just answers every request with the 404 error code and the corresponding message 'File not found‘.

import BaseHTTPServer

class TrivialHTTPRequestHandler(BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
"""Trivial HTTP request handler, answers not found to every request"""

    server_version = "TrivialHTTP/1.0"

    def do_GET(self):
        """Serve a GET request."""
        self.send_error(404, "File not found")

    do_HEAD = do_POST = do_GET

    server = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer((",80), TrivialHTTPRequestHandler)

    server.serve_forever()
