Why Is My Stdout Interfering With My Webpage In Python?

Really simple code that just fires one pcap (packet) using scapy, If I just want to do simple cgi-bin POSTS to myself to run a set of 10 easy tests why is this just kicking back a

Solution 1:

Most probably the output of sendp brakes the HTML so bad it shows as text, what you can do is try pass verbose=0 to sendp (if the output is not important), or try other verbose level. if the output of sendp is important to you, you can run it in a separate script with subprocess.Popen and try to format the output so it fit in the HTML page.

edit: ops, someone already answered with almost the same

Solution 2:

As I understand it, sendp doesn't just echo the package to stdout; it sends it "down the wire" at a lower protocol level. So if you want to send an html header you'll need to wrap it inside a package, not the other way around.

But are you sure you need to mess with scapy? If all you want is to send POST requests to a webserver, you can just use urllib2.urlopen. Put your POST data in the optional data argument, and it will use POST instead of GET for the request.

Solution 3:

It doesn't appear that you are sending http data(eg Response Headers).

You should be because it is being run off a web server.
