I am trying to write a python application that will listen for HTTP responses on a socket. I am using http-parser for this. Here is my code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket
from http_parser.http import HttpStream
from http_parser.reader import SocketReader
from http_parser.util import b
def main():
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((socket.gethostname(), 7000))
s.listen(5)
try:
while True:
p = HttpStream(SocketReader(s))
finally:
s.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
I have two questions:
EDIT What I am trying to do is this: I have three boxes, once runs Apache, one runs this script and one is the client. When the client connects to Apache and it sends back a response, I am diverting the response to this box. So in this script, I am trying to listen for HTTP responses.
Topology Here is my topology: Server <----> Switch one <-----> Switch two <-----> Box one and two Initially, box one connects to the server and sends a request. When the second switch receives responses from the server, it forks it to both box one and box two.
I ended up using a raw socket and directly reading packets from it.
