Basic client server code question - swisscheese - Dec-09-2020
# This is a simple python web server which displays a button and “Hello”.
# How can I modify the code so that when I click the button the webpage shows the word “There”?
# I need the button to make a request to the server which will then serve the HTML with the change.
# I’ve been searching for days for an answer to this.
# My project does more than this but this is all I need to move forward.
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
Template = """<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"></head><body>Hello <button class="button">Click</button></body></html>"""
class MyServer(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html")
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(bytes(Template, "utf-8"))
if __name__ == "__main__":
webServer = HTTPServer(("localhost",80), MyServer)
print("Server started http://%s:%s" % (hostName, serverPort))
try: webServer.serve_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt: pass
webServer.server_close()
print("Server stopped.")

This looks like a very elementary code (html) question, part of a homework assignment.
Is that the case?
The author of this code, should know the answer.

It's not a homework assignment. I sounds that way because I stripped the code down to a trivial case for clarity.

Why are you writing your own web framework instead of using an existing one (like Flask, but others are available)?
RE: Basic client server code question - Larz60+ - Dec-12-2020
As suggested, this can be done quite easily with flask.
Learning enough flask will probably take several hours.
