cloud_scripts/listen_on_ports.py simple http mock server

[tarzanek]

This can be used for quick port testing, to start a simple service.

E.g.

$ python3 listen_on_ports.py -a 10.0.2.15 -p 1111 -p 2222 -p 3333
Starting on address 10.0.2.15
Starting on port 1111
Starting on port 3333
Starting on port 2222
Starting on address localhost
Starting on port 1111
Starting on port 3333
Starting on port 2222
All ports are listening, press ENTER key to stop and exit.
$ curl 10.0.2.15:2222
up

@vladzcloudius can you merge?

[vladzcloudius]

Linux has a much more powerful tool for similar things: nc.
Does your script have any advantage on using nc, @tarzanek ?

[tarzanek]

the only advantage is it gets http reply back
otherwise nc can be used to do similar thing

nc supports HTTP too.
