SimpleHTTPPutServer in python

Sometimes a small HTTP server which can be used with

$ curl -T dafile dahost.local

is handy. You can use it to upload small logfiles etc without any authentication, so something like tftp.

Python's own SimpleHTTPServer is a simple webserver, but it only supports GET and HEAD requests.
By simply deriving from that class you can create a small server supporting PUT.

	# python3 -m SimpleHTTPPutServer 8080
	from http.server import HTTPServer, SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
	class PutHTTPRequestHandler(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
	def do_PUT(self):
	print(self.headers)
	length = int(self.headers["Content-Length"])
	path = self.translate_path(self.path)
	with open(path, "wb") as dst:
	dst.write(self.rfile.read(length))
	self.send_response(200)
	self.end_headers()
	def run(server_class=HTTPServer, handler_class=PutHTTPRequestHandler):
	server_address = ('', 8000)
	httpd = server_class(server_address, handler_class)
	httpd.serve_forever()
	if __name__ == '__main__':
	run()
