Final Project 

Simply put my project is designed to read a website/host from the command line and also from the commend line, the port number. Then via TCP socket, the program will connect to the host and received the HTTP header as well as the HTML content of the website. After receiving the data through bytes it will convert the data and write it to 1 of 2 files. The first file is HTTPoutput.html, which will contain the data of the HTML body. The second file is 
Log.csv, which will contain all the attempts to connect to a host. Finally, the program will also catch exceptions such as HTTPS not supported, chunked transfer encoding not supported, and host could not be resolved.

**Sources used had a range of forgetting basic python to data handling through byte reading to understanding the use of sockets.
