Tiny Python 3 HTTP/1.1 Server

What?

This is a Python 3 HTTP/1.1 server bound to 127.0.0.1 on port 8000 using only the standard library.

Why?

I wanted a simple Python 3 web server using HTTP 1.1 that can perform simple HTTP operations and depends only on Python and standard library modules. I couldn't find an example so I made one.

The example demonstrates how to accept different methods, parse the url and query strings, read data sent to the server, parse and return json, return responses with different status codes and headers, handle graceful termination, and override the default error logging.

A script that inspects the DNS TTL for a JVM in a supplied Docker image. The image must also contain a JDK.

It does this by generating a Docker image containing a Java program that outputs the JVM's DNS TTL and executing this, then cleaning up the container, image and temporary files.

Usage

$ ./jvm-dns-ttl-policy.sh openjdk:8
