Knocking up a simple and quick web server can be extremely useful without the need to install and configure a full fat web server. However, this isn't secure and will expose ALL files from the current directory executed in!
The official doc can be found here (v2) and here (v3).
NOTE: You will need to generate the certs for HTTPS version.
Python2:
HTTP |
HTTPS |
#!/usr/bin/env python2
import BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer
httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('<listen IP>', <port>),
SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)
httpd.serve_forever()
Or a simple one liner: python -m SimpleHTTPServer |
#!/usr/bin/env python2
import BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer
import ssl
httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('<listen IP>', <port>),
SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)
httpd.socket = ssl.wrap_socket (httpd.socket,
keyfile="key.pem",
certfile='cert.pem', server_side=True)
httpd.serve_forever()
|
Python3:
HTTP |
HTTPS |
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import http.server, socketserver
Handler = http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
httpd = socketserver.TCPServer(('<listen ip>', <port>), Handler)
httpd.serve_forever()
Or a simple one liner: python -m http.server <port> --bind '<listen ip>' |
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import http.server, socketserver
import ssl
Handler = http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
httpd = socketserver.TCPServer(('<listen ip>', <port>), Handler)
httpd.socket = ssl.wrap_socket (httpd.socket,
keyfile="key.pem",
certfile='cert.pem', server_side=True)
httpd.serve_forever()
