Creating a Micro HttpServer with Python 3

Sometimes we need just a microserver to simulate or do some tests using our APIS so python can be used to create this micro httpserver in a simple way! 🙂

Case 1

We just need to serve some html files so, go the path that you need and just:

python -m http.server

Case 2

We need to perform something else like CORS, CONTENT TYPE…

#!/usr/bin/env python3from http.server import HTTPServer, SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, testimport sysclass CORSRequestHandler (SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):    def end_headers (self):        self.send_header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')        self.send_header("Content-type", "application/json")        SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.end_headers(self)if __name__ == '__main__':    test(CORSRequestHandler, HTTPServer, port=int(sys.argv[1]) if len(sys.argv) > 1 else 8000)
