Great info. I love how you actually googled after you got stuck and didn't cut that part out. Google search is an important skill for any programmer.

[@Logan_Wolf_Online]

A lot of new programmers feel insecure about googling things after a while, because all these folks who show different tutorials tend to not show just how common it is to need to reference documentation or their source code they are using for the tutorial. It happens a lot however, so there is no shame in needing to check reference information.

It doesn't matter if you know how to do everything from memory. It only matters if you know how to get the answers and implement them properly.

[@SoftEngiNir]

Thank you so much! Very simply put, great job!

[@leiloz]

Very useful video, thanks!

[@markosth09]

Btw {{ is the proper way to escape { in f-strings

[@mathisart]

yup

[@jackReme]

Thanks alot I love your videos! They are always very helpful! Thanks

[@CR33D404]

Does the basehttpServer doesn’t provide a way for the handler to get the query parameters?

[@Indodapro]

That intro deserves a sub

[@RhoChalmers]

This was fun. Thanks!

[@DaivaDarpana]

I'd like to create a test www using html+python but... not on my local computer only directly on the server in order to be visible for any1 via internet.
Have you got any tutorial how to do that?

[@albertoricardomorales6328]

This is great, no more usb 😂
Very useful!

[@AlexBerkk]

Do you know how give timeout for that http server using python?

[@biswarupbhattacharyya4322]

Can upload and download at the same time? Is there a way to do both?

[@teclote]

Outstanding.

Thanks for the knowledge...

[@terryscript64]

Can you do a video on how to make a customisable theme for http directory listing, the default one looks really old.

That’s what I’m looking for, I’m too lazy to make a flask app for that

[@joetimbersock7639]

Is this server secure? I was going to use this as a server but, the internet said it’s not secure. Is it secure? Need to know.

[@vishwasluhana]

Hi, I think the problem at 14:04 is “,” before “utf-8” which you accidentally removed while typing.
I am still not sure that if it would work with comma or not but it might be the problem.

[@prboric]

You are correct, he deleted the comma by mistake in 13:46. He still needed the backslashes \{ and \} for it to work in addition to the missing coma.

[@LZulb]

The other problem is that
f'\{"time": "{date}"\}'
Should look like this
f'\{"time": f"{date}"\}'

What is the native python way to host a web server with REST APIs? How do you do it without frameworks? Is there no way to do it without frameworks that implement WSGI?

[@giorgikhachidze64]

What is "-m" for ?

How do you make computers on different networks connect 😭

[@ItsCOMMANDer_]

so, you need to forward the port on wich the server is running, and then access it by public ip

[@ananrishan4333]

can u access the http server using a ipad or a phone or any other device instead of a computer?

[@TheKing-hf8is]

Yep but u must be connected to the same connection
