Low Level Request Handling

Thank you for your answers so far.

I'd like to focus my intention for clarification:
I have a HTML site with a form to pick a a number that the user has to type in.

Now, I'd like to know what the Python code (on the server) is to simply receive this
number and put it into a value called "number".

This intention is very simple, but I want to know how it works.
Thanks again!

What language and server are you running?

When you have a html form and a number get submit,
it's send data to server and you process it there(if eg sever run PHP you get vaule with number = $_POST['data from form'])
If eg run Python(Flask) as server i get data with number = request.form['data from form']

When looking at this from outside(no server access) can use Requests to make post requests.

import requests

url = "http://127.0.0.1:5000/" # Eg my local Flask server
# Construct POST request
form_data = {
    'my-form' : "Send",
    'text' : 5
}

post = requests.post(url, data=form_data)
number = post.text
print(number) #--> 5

So i am doing a POST requests on this html code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <form action="." method="POST">
      <input type="text" name="text">
      <input type="submit" name="my-form" value="Send">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
