Cyber Python Script for Sending HTTP Requests and Handling Responses”

Hello one hope you are having a wonderful day today. I am going to share you a script that I wrote by myself..

Version 0.001:

this is basic version of http request that help you to understand pythons. with time to time i will update everything on it. with new and improved version.

The script was using request library in Python which helped me to send multiple type of request on a website server before you proceed this thing, you must have understanding of request and how many type of it was therefore, there are few of the requirements that is required for this.

import requests
from requests.exceptions import RequestException

def send_request(url, method='GET', data=None, headers=None):
    try:
        if method == 'GET':
            response = requests.get(url, timeout=5)
        elif method == 'POST':
            response = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers, timeout=5)
        elif method == 'PUT':
            response = requests.put(url, data=data, headers=headers, timeout=5)
        elif method == 'DELETE':
            response = requests.delete(url, timeout=5)
        else:
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid method: {method}")
        # Raise an exception for non-200 status codes
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response
    except RequestException as e:
        print(f'Error: {e}')
    except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as errh:
        print ("HTTP Error:",errh)
    except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError as errc:
        print ("Error Connecting:",errc)
    except requests.exceptions.Timeout as errt:
        print ("Timeout Error:",errt)
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err:
        print ("Something Else:",err)
# you can add more request tpes that can help you 
# Get the URL and method from the user
url = input("Enter the URL to send a request to: ")

print("Select an option:")
print("1. GET")
print("2. POST")
print("3. PUT")
print("4. DELETE")

method_input = input()

if method_input == "1":
    method = "GET"
elif method_input == "2":
    method = "POST"
    data = input("Enter the request data (if any): ")
    headers = input("Enter the request headers (if any): ")
elif method_input == "3":
    method = "PUT"
    data = input("Enter the request data (if any): ")
    headers = input("Enter the request headers (if any): ")
elif method_input == "4":
    method = "DELETE"
else:
    print("Invalid option selected.")

# Send the request and store the response
response = send_request(url, method=method, data=data, headers=headers)

# Save the response

Requirement for this script is you must have Python install in your OS if you are Debian Distro user user you might have part on install by default. If you are window user maybe you need to install additional requirement.

If your program is good, you can add more to it which is useful for your work

If you want to edit more things in it, there is a statement that you can add to request different methods.

The script will help you to understand how the things are going to work on there. If us request type is block on the server then it will try another type of request that will show the response and you can go through it .

I personally use this for bug hunting 😀
