# Python Programming/Sockets

## HTTP Client

Make a very simple HTTP client

``` python
import socket
s = socket.socket()
s.connect(('localhost', 80))
s.send('GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost:localhost\n\n')
s.recv(40000) # receive 40000 bytes
```

## NTP/Sockets

Connecting to and reading an NTP time server, returning the time as
follows

`ntpps       picoseconds portion of time`\
`ntps        seconds portion of time`\
`ntpms       milliseconds portion of time`\
`ntpt        64-bit ntp time, seconds in upper 32-bits, picoseconds in lower 32-bits`
