A simple Python library to build HTTP headers.

Project description

Http-Html A lightweight and complete Python library for building simple web servers.

Features Integrated Web Structure: Includes classes for Request, Response, Router, and Server.

Request Routing: Automatically directs each URL to a specific function using the Router class.

Easy Header Building: Build complex HTTP headers in a single line.

Automatic Request Parsing: Parses incoming requests (GET and POST) automatically.

Standard Status Codes: Supports standard HTTP status codes and their messages.

Installation You can install the library easily using pip once it's published on PyPI:

Bash

pip install http-html How to Use http-html This library is designed to make it simple to build a web server from scratch. All you need is a single Python file to run your server.

Step 1: Create Your Server First, create a Server object. This class handles the low-level socket connections and listens for incoming requests.

Python

main_server.py

from httpkit.server import Server

HOST = '0.0.0.0' PORT = 8080

Create your server instance

app = Server(HOST, PORT)

Start the server

if name == "main": app.run() Step 2: Define Your Routes Use the @app.route decorator to connect specific URLs to a function. The decorator takes two arguments: the path (e.g., "/", "/about") and the HTTP method (e.g., "GET", "POST").

Python

from httpkit.response import Response

@app.route("/", "GET") def index_page(client_connection, request): html_content = "

Welcome to Http-Html!

" # The handler function takes two arguments: # 1. client_connection: for sending the response # 2. request: the parsed request object

# Use Response to build and send the final data
response = Response(200, "text/html", html_content)
client_connection.sendall(response.build())

@app.route("/contact", "GET") def contact_page(client_connection, request): html_content = "Contact us at my_email@example.com" response = Response(200, "text/html", html_content) client_connection.sendall(response.build()) Step 3: Handle Requests The request object provides easy access to all the information from the browser. You can access headers, the request method, and the path.

Python

@app.route("/user-info", "GET") def user_info(client_connection, request): # Access a header (e.g., User-Agent) user_agent = request.headers.get("User-Agent", "Not specified")

# Access the request path
path = request.path

# Access the request method (GET, POST)
method = request.method

# You can also get POST data from request.body
# ...

Step 4: Build a Response Use the Response class to build the final HTTP response. It handles everything for you and is a much better way than manually writing the headers.

Python

from httpkit.response import Response

This creates a complete HTTP response with headers and body

my_response = Response( 200, # Status Code (e.g., 200) "text/html", # Content Type "

Success!

" # Content )

Use the .build() method to get the final bytes to send

final_bytes = my_response.build() License This project is licensed under the MIT License.
