OK, your Python web server is running!
Try the tests below... You can shut the web server down by going to the window that showed
the server starting, and has the text: |
1. Test web server's simple HTML delivery from the html-stuff directory |
2. Test simple Python HTML generation from the cgi-bin directory |
3. Test Python GET processing |
4. Test Python POST processing |
Directories: - Underneath this directory is a directory called html-stuff that can hold your HTML files - The directory to put your Python programs into is cgi-bin/python-stuff. |
Security: The modem you received from your Internet carrier (your cable or telephone company) normally has a firewall that will prevent outside computers from sending queries to your web server. And this web server is only designed to send out information from the directories underneath it (html-stuff and cgi-bin). However, it is always wise to shut down your web server when not using it to test your code. |
