I am creating a GroupMe bot, and I'm testing out the callback URL and the basic WSGI app I've set up so far. I am planning host the bot on Heroku, but am testing it on my local machine first. I registered a bot, with the callback URL http://MY_IP_ADDRESS:8000. When I open a different shell and run requests.post('http://MY_IP_ADDRESS:8000', data = 'something') in the Python interpreter, everything works fine. However, when there is activity in the GroupMe group, nothing happens, not even an error message.
Here's my (simplified) code:
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_serve
def app(environ, startResponse):
try:
requestBodySize = int(environ.get('CONTENT_LENGTH', 0))
except ValueError:
requestBodySize = 0
# requestBody = environ['wsgi.input'].read(requestBodySize)
print('something')
responseBody = bytes('successful', 'utf-8')
status = '200 OK'
responseHeaders = [('Content-Type', 'text/plain'), ('Content-Length', str(len(responseBody)))]
startResponse(status, responseHeaders)
return [responseBody]
server = make_server('', 8000, app)
server.serve_forever()
I'm sure I'm doing something obvious, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. I'd appreciate any help!
