This is not only a great beginner project, but also a very lightweight server for any needs

Thanks for making this video. You explained something that didn't really understand but now I understand it. Thanks again for making this video hope to more videos on servers

[prestonwallitsch]

thank you so freaking much. I am a beginner at python and I was having trouble finding out how to do this.

[matiasarenas]

Thanks 4 the code! It's a late thanks, but with good vibes (y)

[iwdeouu]

i like this tutorial, direct to the point

[eloyperezrodriguez]

Thanks for the tutorial! It has helped me a lot :D

[georgeseletski]

Thanks THE BEST VIDEO I"VE SEEN!!!

[manosped]

sorry if the questing is dumb but how can we publish it on the net or show this to our friends?

[Ftoy-OG]

Never sending content header but closing it, seems legit

[dasdunetechnologies]

nice ! maybe next step is to handle a POST request ?

[scamcaller]

looks like i can very easily execute any file in the root directory only if I know their names

[julianosvonskingrad]

Question: Is the python script executed? Constantly running?

[krinx]

so if i port forward the ip and the port that is assigned, i should be able to access it through the internet?

great video, its nice that you showed how to code your own server although all that was not necessary. go to command line type python -m http.server 8000 and you are job though

[StephenPoole-ofqc]

Why do you put the [1:] when opening and reading the file?

[GerardoWacker]

Thank you for the tutorial! It's very simple to make, but my question is, Is there a way to change the server name? (for example, Apache, nginx, and cloudflare uses a server called cloudflare-nginx)

[hamzadaoud]

so this is mean i won't need to install Apache2 or kickweb server ... ?

[homieluca]

now how can i unpoad a file to this webserber ?

[justgivemethetruth]

Wow, that is pure amazing. How hard would it be to add CGI capabilities to this? I want to create a local web server to my machine that will serve portions of the filesystem, like home dir, or media directories and has controls to do manipulations on files if the user has the right permissions. Can this serve things like video, audio, images, etc? I am so glad I found this - all the other similiar things always want people to use these frameworks like FLASK or whatnot and the point for me is to learn and use Python.

[Maexwellus]

can you tell me how to add ccs to that ?
