Project Description

HTTP-PyServer is a simple, and extremely light-weight solution to create powerful projects relying on the web with the fewest lines of code. It uses python built-in packages to host server's and then handle http requests, as well as responses. It's extremely customizable, and allows you do to almost everything you might want.

HTTP-PyServer is also very flexible on your project layout. It ensures security by allowing you to specify which files to send, and to where. HTTP-PyServer allows you to do everything you need whilst keeping hands relaxed with as few lines of code as possible.

Features

• Return various filetypes (HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, Images, Video)
• Get information from the users request (Headers, IP Addresses, Queries)
• Handle any HTTP request type
• Use a custom logger to record any server activity how you want
• Utilizes multi-threading to ensure quick response times
• Relies on NO NON-NATIVE LIBRARIES which leads to super quick runtimes
• Handle wildcard routes to access different ressources
• Cache information in the server and automaticall delete it after a certain time
• Store user data in sessions to identify profiles
• Integrate python code into your static files with templating
