I have a basic HTTP server-client written in Python wherein the server has different modules (campaigns) to run. I want the client to interact with the server only when a certain campaign is up. I was thinking I could maybe create a flag whose value would depend upon the campaign and send this flag to the client when it connects and then depending on the flag the client-server can interact. But how do I do that?
Example:
#Server
def run(server_class, handler_class):
server_add = (host, port)
httpd = server_class(server_add, handler_class)
httpd.serve_forever()
def campaign():
c = input("Choose Campaign: \r\n 1. Cam1 \r\n 2. Cam2 \r\n")
if c == 1:
flag = "Run Cam1" #Set flag
#Send flag to client
run()
do_cam1() #Call the defined function for Campaign 1
elif c == 2:
flag = "Run Cam2"
#Send flag to client
run()
do_cam2()
else:
print "Invalid Campaign"
#Client
def client():
server = ''
c = httplib.HTTPConnection(server)
#Read the flag here
if flag == "Run Cam1":
#Do Something
elseif flag == "Run Cam2":
#Do Something
else:
#Throw Some Error
c.close()
