Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

temp is a file object, not a string.

Did you mean to join out, and then encode that?

[raven pike]

its a proxy server and yes

oh wait hold on

from socket import *
import string
import sys
import socket

#need server socket, bind to port and listen
serverSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

try:
    serverSocket.bind(("", 8888))
    serverSocket.listen(5)
    print(f"Listening on {serverSocket.getsockname()}")
except Exception as e:
    sys.exit(f"Failed to bind: {e}")

while True:
    TCPSocket, addr = serverSocket.accept()
    msg1 = TCPSocket.recv(1024)
    
    msg = msg1.decode()
    file = msg.split()[1].partition("//")[2]
    exist = False
    fileToUse = "/" + file.replace("/", "")
    try:
        #see if it's in the cache
        temp = open(fileToUse[1:],"r")
        out = temp.readlines()
        exist = True
        hit = ""
        TCPSocket.send("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n".encode())
        TCPSocket.send("Content-Type:text/html\r\n".encode())
        for i in out:
            TCPSocket.send(i)

    except IOError:
        if exist == False:
            temp1 = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
            host = file.split('/')[0].replace("www.","",1)
            try:
                name = socket.gethostbyname(host)
                print(f"\nTemp help on{name}\n")
                temp1.connect((name, 80))

                fileo = temp1.makefile('rwb', 0)
                fileo.write(("GET http://" + file + " HTTP/1.0\n\n").encode())
                resp = temp1.recv(4096)
                temp3 = ""
                while resp:
                    temp3 += resp.decode()
                    resp = temp1.recv(4096)
                
                if(file[-1:] == '/'):
                    file = file[:-1]
                
                temp4 = open("./" + file.replace("/","") ,"wb")
                temp4.write(temp3.encode())
                temp4.close()
            
                TCPSocket.send(temp3)
            except Exception(e):
                print(f"wrong request")
        else:
            pass
TCPSocket.close()```

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\tsts\OneDrive\Desktop\Homework\proxyserver.py", line 42, in <module>
    temp1.connect((name, 80))
OSError: [WinError 10049] The requested address is not valid in its context

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\t\OneDrive\Desktop\Homework\proxyserver.py", line 60, in <module>
    except Exception(e):
NameError: name 'e' is not defined```

This is the input
http://localhost:8888/http://www.google.com

I'm just beginning with sockets and servers, I'm not sure where exactly I'm going wrong tbh, but it sorta establishes a connection but then is a pure white page

[upbeat sphinx]

This second error is because except Exception(e) needs to be except Exception as e.

[raven pike]

Oh yeah I noticed but haven't really fixed it yet, I'ma do that right now

but the issue I'm facing is that it isn't really loading the google homepage

you gotta load it in as a proxy server to actually see it, if that makes sense

it makes a new connection and then goes right into a blank page
