I wrote a simple HTTP client and server in Python for experimenting. The first code snippet below shows how I send an HTTP GET request with a parameter named imsi. In the second code snippet I show my do_Get function implementation in the server side. My question is how I can extract the imsi parameter in the server code and send a response back to the client in order to signal the client that imsi is valid.
Thanks.
P.S.: I verified that the client sends the request successfully.
CLIENT code snippet
params = urllib.urlencode({'imsi': str(imsi)})
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(host + ':' + str(port))
#conn.set_debuglevel(1)
conn.request("GET", "/index.htm", 'imsi=' + str(imsi))
r = conn.getresponse()
SERVER code snippet
import sys, string, cStringIO, cgi, time, datetime
from os import curdir, sep
from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
class MyHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
# I want to extract the imsi parameter here and send a success response to
# back to the client.
def do_GET(self):
try:
if self.path.endswith(".html"):
#self.path has /index.htm
f = open(curdir + sep + self.path)
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-type','text/html')
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write("<h1>Device Static Content</h1>")
self.wfile.write(f.read())
f.close()
return
if self.path.endswith(".esp"): #our dynamic content
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-type','text/html')
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write("<h1>Dynamic Dynamic Content</h1>")
self.wfile.write("Today is the " + str(time.localtime()[7]))
self.wfile.write(" day in the year " + str(time.localtime()[0]))
return
# The root
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-type','text/html')
self.end_headers()
lst = list(sys.argv[1])
n = lst[len(lst) - 1]
now = datetime.datetime.now()
output = cStringIO.StringIO()
