Sending HTTP headers via plain sockets
Hi Guys,
I am very new to python and I am trying to send HTTP headers for
redirection using sockets in python 3, but in vain. If I use the meta
tag REFRESH method the redirection works. Please advise what I am
missing, below is the snippet of my code:
hostsock is the socket object
print('Redirecting client')
hostsock.send(HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.example.com;)
I have been up all night trying to figure this one out : ( I would be
grateful if someone could point me in the right direction
Regards,
Nav

Re: Sending HTTP headers via plain sockets
Aaah figured it out...!!
It was elementary, I was lacking the carriage return and line feed
characters at the end of the status and header line. Here is how I
solved it:
hostsock.send(b'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently\r\nLocation: http://www.example.com\r\n'
)

You might want to note that the .send method doesn't guarantee to send
all the bytes, so you might want to use .sendall instead (it's in the
documentation).
