🌐 Custom Python Web Server

A custom Python web server that supports HTTP, HTTPS, and multiple request types (GET, POST, HEAD, and others). It also includes a PHP integration for testing input parameters and serves HTML pages with appropriate headers, all built from scratch without using external parsing libraries. This project is Dockerized for easy deployment and scalability.

📥 Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/tanishqborse/PythonWebServer.git
cd PythonWebServer

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t python-web-server .

This will build the Docker image with the tag python-web-server.

⚡ Usage

Run the Docker container:

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 python-web-server

This will start the Python web server inside a Docker container, mapping port 80 (HTTP) and port 443 (HTTPS) on your local machine to the corresponding ports in the container.

Access the server:

• For HTTP: Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost.
• For HTTPS: Use https://localhost (note: this may show a security warning due to self-signed certificates).

🔧 Customization

• PHP Integration: Place PHP scripts in the php directory to execute server-side logic.
• Static Content: Place HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other static files in the static directory to serve them via the web server.
• Server Configuration: Modify server.py to customize server behavior, add new endpoints, or handle additional request types.
