address_string() Returns the client address. Changed in version 3.3: Previously, a name lookup was performed. To avoid name resolution delays, it now always returns the IP address.

client_address Contains a tuple of the form (host, port) referring to the client’s address.

class http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler(request, client_address, server) This class is used to handle the HTTP requests that arrive at the server. By itself, it cannot respond to any actual HTTP requests; it must be subclassed to handle each request method (e.g. GET or POST).

The handler will parse the request and the headers, then call a method specific to the request type. The meth
