A simple, dynamic, decorator-based HTTP server inspired by Node.js's Express. Supports trio, TLS and WebSockets.
dhttp, which is pretty short for decorable HTTP, is a
simple, yet dynamic, HTTP server written for Python 3.
It is inspired by Node.js's Express library.
"Decorable" is a reference to how extensively decorators are used throughout this project. They are very useful, and are one of the nicest syntaxes for a callback system like this.
import dhttp
import random
app = dhttp.DHTTPServer(int(sys.argv[1]) if len(sys.argv) > 1 else 8005)
app.alias('/index', '/')
app.alias('/index.htm', '/')
app.alias('/index.html', '/')
test_index = """<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>My first DHTTP server</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><h2>Congratulations!</h2></p>
<hr>
<p><b>dhttp {version}</b> is now running on your machine.</p>
<p>How about <i>{party}</i> to comemorate? :)</p>
