I'm writing an HTTP server in Python and I need to get the name of the requested file from the sent request in order to send from from the server
Here is my code: from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer import os.path from os import curdir, sep PortNum = 8080 class myHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): #Handler for the GET requests def do_GET(self): if self.path=="/": print os.path.splitext(self.path)[0] print self.path print "my code" self.path="/index_example3.html" try: #Check the file extension required and #set the right mime type extension = os.path.splitext(self.path)[-1] mime_types = { '.html': 'text/html', '.jpg':'image/jpg', '.gif': 'image/gif', '.js': 'application/javascript', '.css': 'text/css', } mimetype = mime_types.get(extension) sendReply = mimetype is not None if sendReply == True: #open the static file requested and send it f=open(curdir+sep+self.path) self.send_response(200) self.send_header('Content-type',mimetype) self.wfile.write(f.read()) f.close() return except IOError: self.send_error(404,'File Not Found'% self.path) try: #Create a web server and define thehandler to manage the #incoming request server = HTTPServer(('',PortNum),myHandler) print('Started httpserver on port ',PortNum) #wait forever for incoming http requests server.serve_forever() except KeyboardInterrupt: print '^C received, shuting down the web server' server.socket.close() I have used the self.path to get the whole path but it only contains a '/' character and the when the request is a "POST" request it contains '/send' in the documentation page of this library HERE I couldn't fine any thing useful
I want to get the file name requested I don't know what self.path contains really.
