Simple HTTP Listener using Python

Here is a simple HTTP listener using Python BaseHTTPRequestHandler 
This Application will,

• listen to port 8000 on localhost
• respond to REST POST request 

from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler
import urlparse, json
import shutil
import os

class GetHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):

	def do_POST(self):

		content_len = int(self.headers.getheader('content-length'))
		req_token = self.headers.get('Authorization')
		post_body = self.rfile.read(content_len)
		data = json.loads(post_body)
		user_id = data['id']
		user_name = data['name']
		
		print ("Token "+str(req_token))
		print ("User Id "+str(user_id))
		print ("User Name "+str(user_name))
		 
		#Do something here
		
		self.send_response(200)
		return

if __name__ == '__main__':
	from BaseHTTPServer import HTTPServer
	server = HTTPServer(('localhost', 8000), GetHandler)
	print 'Starting server at http://localhost:8009'
	server.serve_forever()
