Sometimes when you're playing to be a ninja in python and you got the crazy and sticky idea of build your own web server just for pass the time ;-). You may find some tricky things in the fly, things that maybe you would like to change like the “Server-tag” of your homemade python's web server :-) (that in my case says that is “Server: SimpleHTTP/0.6 Python/2.7.3”) so if you're stuck with that, here i pasted my python's script and leave my solution, i hope and it could be useful to you. :)
#!/usr/bin/env python
import SocketServer
from SimpleHTTPServer import SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
class http_handler(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
def send_response(self, code, message=None):
"""\
this is a copy-and-pase of the function send_response method in
'/usr/lib/python2.7/BaseHTTPServer.py' file.
in the code below i just edited the line
"self.send_header('Server', self.version_string())"
for my own to remove the Server-Tag in the Header. ;-)
"""
self.log_request(code)
if message is None:
if code in self.responses:
message = self.responses[code][0]
else:
message = ''
if self.request_version != 'HTTP/0.9':
self.wfile.write("%s %d %s\r\n" %
(self.protocol_version, code, message))
# print (self.protocol_version, code, message)
self.send_header('Server', "jimmy's python web server") # <= this line was edited 'cause i didn't
# like the default Server-Tag in the Header
self.send_header('Date', self.date_time_string())
server_addr = ('',8000)
httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(server_addr, http_handler)
httpd.serve_forever()
My solution:
you must to override the send_response method (i copied it and pasted it all that code from it sources in /usr/lib/python2.7/BaseHTTPServer.py, so don't be scary ;) ) and overrode this line
self.send_header('Server', self.version_string())
with my own putting attention to the syntax. so This is my new line
self.send_header('Server', "jimmy's python web server")
if you have a linux distro, you can use the curl command to verify the changes when your server been running with this command in your linux terminal:
curl -v localhost:8000and that's it!, hope to help. Feel free to left commentaries, doubts or corrections :)
see ya'!
