Sending HTTP headers via plain sockets
in [Python]
|
From: Navkirat Singh on 22 Jul 2010 21:30 Hi Guys, I am very new to python and I am trying to send HTTP headers for redirection using sockets in python 3, but in vain. If I use the meta tag REFRESH method the redirection works. Please advise what I am missing, below is the snippet of my code: hostsock is the socket object print('Redirecting client') hostsock.send("""HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://www.example.com"") I have been up all night trying to figure this one out : ( I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction Regards, Nav
From: Navkirat Singh on 22 Jul 2010 22:26 Aaah figured it out...!! It was elementary, I was lacking the carriage return and line feed characters at the end of the status and header line. Here is how I solved it: hostsock.send(b'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently\r\nLocation: http://www.example.com\r\n' ) Regards, Nav On 23-Jul-2010, at 7:00 AM, Navkirat Singh wrote: > Hi Guys, > > I am very new to python and I am trying to send HTTP headers for > redirection using sockets in python 3, but in vain.
