# Very simple HTTP client example: # - Connects to a server. # - Sends a HTTP request. # - Reads the result. # # This example works in both MicroPython and CPython. # # To implement an HTTP client using less code, use mip to install the requests package: # https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/tree/master/python-ecosys/requests import socket # `addr_family` selects IPv4 vs IPv6: 0 means either, or use # socket.AF_INET or socket.AF_INET6 to select a particular one. def main(domain, addr_family=0, use_stream=False): # Lookup the server address, for the given family and socket type. ai = socket.getaddrinfo(domain, 80, addr_family, socket.SOCK_STREAM) print("Address infos:", ai) # Select the first address. ai = ai[0] # Create a socket with the server's family, type and proto. s = socket.socket(ai[0], ai[1], ai[2]) # Connect to the server. addr = ai[-1] print("Connect address:", addr) s.connect(addr) # Send request and read response. if use_stream: # MicroPython socket objects support stream (aka file) interface # directly, but the line below is needed for CPython. s = s.makefile("rwb", 0) s.write(b"GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") print(s.read()) else: s.send(b"GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") print(s.recv(4096)) # Close the socket. s.close() main("google.com")
