Sec-Art: Simple Python Web Server with CGI

Here is the code for python CGI Web server :

CgiServer.py

 #!/usr/bin/env python  
   
 import BaseHTTPServer  
 import CGIHTTPServer  
 import cgitb; cgitb.enable() # This line enables CGI error reporting  
   
 ServerHandler = CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler  
 ServerHandler.cgi_directories = ["/"]  
 HttpServer = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(("", 8000), ServerHandler)  
 HttpServer.serve_forever()

and here's the code for a sample page:

TasgePage.py

 #!/usr/bin/env python  
   
 print """Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n  
 <html>  
 <head>  
  <title>Test Page</title>  
 </head>  
 <body>  
  <center><h1>Hello world. This is The Test Page</h1></center>  
 </body>  
 </html>"""

then set the executable permissions for both file and run the CgiServer.py

 $ chmod +x CgiServer.py  
 $ chmod +x TestPage.py  
 $ ./CgiServer.py

now oen your web browser and type the following url

http://localhost:8000/TestPage.py
