class BaseHTTPRequestHandler(socketserver.StreamRequestHandler)
HTTP request handler base class.
|
| The following explanation of HTTP serves to guide you through the
| code as well as to expose any misunderstandings I may have about
| HTTP (so you don‘t need to read the code to figure out I‘m wrong
| :-).
|
| HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is an extensible protocol on
| top of a reliable stream transport (e.g. TCP/IP). The protocol
| recognizes three parts to a request:
|
| 1. One line identifying the request type and path
| 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
| 3. An optional data part
|
| The headers and data are separated by a blank line.
|
| The first line of the request has the form
|
| <command> <path> <version>
|
| where <command> is a (case-sensitive) keyword such as GET or POST,
| <path> is a string containing path information for the request,
| and <version> should be the string "HTTP/1.0" or "HTTP/1.1".
| <path> is encoded using the URL encoding scheme (using %xx to signify
| the ASCII character with hex code xx).
|
| The specification specifies that lines are separated by CRLF but
| for compatibility with the widest range of clients recommends
| servers also handle LF. Similarly, whitespace in the request line
| is treated sensibly (allowing multiple spaces between components
| and allowing trailing whitespace).
|
| Similarly, for output, lines ought to be separated by CRLF pairs
| but most clients grok LF characters just fine.
|
| If the first line of the request has the form
| <command> <path>
|
| (i.e. <version> is left out) then this is assumed to be an HTTP
| 0.9 request; this form has no optional headers and data part and
| the reply consists of just the data.
|
| The reply form of the HTTP 1.x protocol again has three parts:
|
| 1. One line giving the response code
| 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
| 3. The data
|
| Again, the headers and data are separated by a blank line.
|
| The response code line has the form
|
| <version> <responsecode> <responsestring>
|
| where <version> is the protocol version ("HTTP/1.0" or "HTTP/1.1"),
| <responsecode> is a 3-digit response code indicating success or
| failure of the request, and <responsestring> is an optional
| human-readable string explaining what the response code means.
|
| This server parses the request and the headers, and then calls a
| function specific to the request type (<command>). Specifically,
| a request SPAM will be handled by a method do_SPAM(). If no
| such method exists the server sends an error response to the
| client. If it exists, it is called with no arguments:
|
| do_SPAM()
|
| Note that the request name is case sensitive (i.e. SPAM and spam
| are different requests).
| The various request details are stored in instance variables:
|
| - client_address is the client IP address in the form (host,
| port);
|
| - command, path and version are the broken-down request line;
|
| - headers is an instance of email.message.Message (or a derived
| class) containing the header information;
|
| - rfile is a file object open for reading positioned at the
| start of the optional input data part;
|
| - wfile is a file object open for writing.
|
| IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADHERE TO THE PROTOCOL FOR WRITING!
|
| The first thing to be written must be the response line. Then
| follow 0 or more header lines, then a blank line, and then the
| actual data (if any). The meaning of the header lines depends on
| the command executed by the server; in most cases, when data is
| returned, there should be at least one header line of the form
|
| Content-type: <type>/<subtype>
|
| where <type> and <subtype> should be registered MIME types,
| e.g. "text/html" or "text/plain".
|
| Method resolution order:
| BaseHTTPRequestHandler
| socketserver.StreamRequestHandler
| socketserver.BaseRequestHandler
| builtins.object
