How to connect python socket client side to server socket with url?

Asked 4 years ago Active 4 years ago Viewed 5k times

I am trying to create a client to connect to a server with given url address.

1 I used this way

host_ip = socket.gethostbyname('HOST_NAME')
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.bind(('127.0.0.1', 0))
sock.connect((host_ip, 8080))

but it printed the following error

OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Can someone explain me why is wrong and give me a solution?

Why are you bind ing the socket? This is used if you are the server. – ForceBru Mar 25 '17 at 16:37

You don't have to bind your socket, this is done server-side.

2 Here's the example code from the documentation for socket :

import socket

HOST = 'your-url.net' # The remote host


PORT = 8080 # The same port as used by the server
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
data = s.recv(1024)
print('Received', repr(data))

This is a simple snippet, which connects to the server, sends some data, and prints the
response.
