Fetching HTTP GET variables in Python

Question

I\'m trying to set up a HTTP server in a Python script. So far I got the server it self to work, with a code similar to the below, from here.

from BaseHTTPSe         


        

Answer 1

Import urlparse and do:

def do_GET(self):
    qs = {}
    path = self.path
    if '?' in path:
        path, tmp = path.split('?', 1)
        qs = urlparse.parse_qs(tmp)
    print path, qs

Answer 2

urlparse.parse_qs()

print urlparse.parse_qs(os.environ['QUERY_STRING'])

Or if you care about order or duplicates, urlparse.parse_qsl().

Import in Python 3: from urllib.parse import urlparse
