    <p>I'm trying to create a custom TCP stack using Python 2.6.5 on Windows 7 to serve valid http page requests on port 80 locally. But, I've run into a snag with what seems like Windows 7 tightened up security. This code worked on Vista.</p> <p>Here's my sample code:</p> <pre><code>import SocketServer import struct class MyTCPHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler): def handle(self): headerText = """HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 1354""" bodyText = "&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;some page&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;" self.request.send(headerText + "\n" + bodyText) if __name__ == "__main__": HOST, PORT = "localhost", 80 server = SocketServer.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), MyTCPHandler) server.serve_forever() </code></pre> <blockquote> <p><b>C:\python>python TestServer.py</b> Traceback (most recent call last):<br> File "TestServer.py", line 19, in server = SocketServer.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), MyTCPHandler) File "C:\Python26\lib\SocketServer.py", line 400, in <strong>init</strong> self.server_bind() File "C:\Python26\lib\SocketServer.py", line 411, in server_bind self.socket.bind(self.server_address) File "", line 1, in bind</p> <p>socket.error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions</p> </blockquote> <p>How exactly do I get this to work on Windows 7?</p> <p>[Edit on 5/5/2010 @ 2344 PDT] This <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/550032/what-causes-python-socket-error">answer</a> explains that the error is caused by the need for elevated / superuser privileges when accessing ports lower than 1024. I'm going to try using a higher port number to see if that works. However, I still would like to know why my local admin account can't access port 80. </p>
