    Hey y'all,

    I wondered if anyone here has used or does use the python built-in http server for anything useful?

    in case anyone doesn't know about how to run it, it's super simple; first navigate to a directory that contains an index.html, and then run;

    (For python2):
    python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

    (For python3):
    python3 -m http.server 8080

    This will start a http server running on port 8080 and will be ready to server web pages to anyone using a browser to connect to it.

    Yea; I dunno how much traffic it could handle, BUT that might be the simple solution to get me on port 80 w/o running as root/sudo.

    You can't bind any ports under 1024 as a non root user

    You can't bind any ports under 1024 as a non root user

    Why are the first 1024 ports restricted to the root user only?

    Binding is an integral step for server side socket. Its like providing some address to end-user (server). So, we assign an IP address and a port number for

























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































    running a server. But we can not provide any random port number to a server. The port numbers from 1 to 1023 are restricted for root user only and we can not assign those ports without having root access.

    The reason behind this restriction is that most major network services like HTTP, FTP, SSH, Telnet, POP etc. runs in this range. So, if any one is allowed to run on those port, following circumstances may arise :

    * An untrusted user could run a program that listened on these ports for
    login (access) details.
    * An untrusted user could run an unauthorized server application.


    Hope this helps =)

    But I could run a python [or any] other web server as root and not mess up my Mystic session. :P

    However, I saw the next post and thank you for the deets. :P You know me - I LIKE to dig a bit deeper - and always appreciate you for helping me doso.

    We have a few Linux based backup appliances at work, and the vendor
    recommends folks using SimpleHTTPServer to download log files and what
    not off the appliance if they can't use SFTP/SCP.

    Only time I really use it.
