Hi, everyone. I am interested in making an HTTP Banner Grabber, but when i connect to a server on port 80 and i send something (e.g. "HEAD / HTTP/1.1") recv doesn't return anything to me like when i do it in let's say netcat..
How would i go about this?
Thanks!
Are you sending a "\r\n\r\n" to indicate the end of the request? If you're not, the server's still waiting for the rest of the request.
Try using the urllib2 module.
>>> data = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.example.com').read()
>>> print data
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<TITLE>Example Web Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<body>

"example.net",

Asking for examples, you may miss finer points. To see the content-type header:
>>> stream = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.example.com')
>>> stream.headers['content-type']
'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
>>> data = stream.read()
>>> print data[:100]
