Welcome to the first exercise! Let's explore how to create a basic HTTP server.

Steps to Create a Simple Server

  1. Choose a Language: Start with your preferred programming language. For example:

    • 🐍 Python: Use http.server module.
    • 🧱 Node.js: Use http module.
    • 📱 JavaScript (Browsers): Use fetch() API.

  2. Basic Code Structure: 

    from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
class SimpleServer(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html')
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(b"Hello, World!")
if __name__ == '__main__':
    server = HTTPServer(('localhost', 8000), SimpleServer)
    print("Server running on port 8000...")
    server.serve_forever()

    📌 Python 示例代码

  3. Test Your Server: Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000.
