I'm writing a script using BaseHTTPRequestHandler class. And in do_GET(self) method I need to get the content of the Host field from the HTTP request. I can do it by regexping the str(self.headers) like proposed here: Determine site domain in BaseHTTPServer, but it's kinda ugly and I wonder if there's cleaner way to do that.

The attribute self.headers is a dictionary-like structure, so you can do this:
def do_GET(self): host = self.headers.get('Host') When the header does not exist, None is returned.
