I'm a beginning/intermediate level programmer currently trying to write a simple web server in Python 3. However, whenever I run the module I get OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor. I've scoured the internet looking for answers, but I can't seem to figure this one out on my own. Here is the code and traceback:
#import socket module
from socket import *
serverSocket=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
#Prepare a server socket
serverSocket.bind(('IP address', 8000))
serverSocket.listen(1)
while True:
#Establish the connection
print('Ready to serve...')
(connectionSocket, addr) = serverSocket.accept()
print ('connected from',addr)
try:
message=connectionSocket.recv(1024)
filename=message.split()[1]
print (filename)
filename=message.split()[1]
f=open(filename[1:])
outputdata=f.read()
#Send one HTTP header line into socket
connectionSocket.send('HTTP/1.1 200 OK')
#Send the content of the requested file to the client
for i in range(0, len(outputdata)):
connectionSocket.send(outputdata[i])
connectionSocket.close()
except IOError as err:
print ('IO error')
#Send response message for file not found
connectionSocket.send(b'file not found')
#Close client socket
connectionSocket.close()
serverSocket.close()
Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/BigRed/Desktop/SOS/webServer.py", line 17, in <module>
