Quick and dirty HTTP server in Python

http-server-2.py

from http.server import HTTPServer, SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
# In Python 2 http.server is called BaseHTTPServer

class RequestHandler(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        command = self.path[1:]

        if command == 'wakeup':
            response = 'Time to wake up!'
        else:
            response = 'ಠ_ಠ'

        self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=UTF-8')
        self.send_header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(response.encode('UTF-8'))

HTTPServer(('0.0.0.0', 8000), RequestHandler).serve_forever()
