A simple python HTTP server which responds with the original request headers and request path

http_server.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer

# HTTPRequestHandler class
class testHTTPServer_RequestHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):

  # GET
  def do_GET(self):
    # Send response status code
    self.send_response(200)

    # Send message back to client
    message = bytes(
      str(self.headers) +
      "\n" +
      self.requestline +
      "\n"
      , 'utf8')

    # Send headers
    self.send_header('Content-type','text/plain; charset=utf-8')
    self.send_header('Content-length', str(len(message)))
    self.end_headers()

    # Write content as utf-8 data
    self.wfile.write(message)
    return

def run():
  print('starting server...')

  # Server settings
  # Choose port 8080, for port 80, which is normally used for a http server, you need root access
  server_address = ('127.0.0.1', 8081)
  httpd = HTTPServer(server_address, testHTTPServer_RequestHandler)
  print('running server...')
  httpd.serve_forever()
