	def do_GET(self):
    	self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html")
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(bytes("<html><head><title>https://pythonbasics.org</title></head>", "utf-8"))
        self.wfile.write(bytes("<p>Request: %s</p>" % self.path, "utf-8"))
        self.wfile.write(bytes("<body>", "utf-8"))

    if __name__ == "__main__":
    	webServer = HTTPServer((hostName, serverPort), MyServer)
        print("Server started http://%s:%s" % (hostName, serverPort))
        try:
        webServer.serve_forever()
        except KeyboardInterrupt:
