Hello,
After experimenting for a while, I am still not able to find where the
POST data is in the BaseHTTPRequest Handler class. I am trying to write
a very simple HTTP server for a project of mine and I need to get the
POST data. Certainly I am missing something, as it is a comon task.
Thanks in advance,
Vlad

The way I've done this previously is to access the rfile attribute on
instances of the BaseHTTPRequest Handler class, since this provides the
body of each request (where POST data comes from) as a stream. Data
read from the stream can be processed by things like cgi.parse or
cgi.FieldStorag e, although you may need to provide other data to those
things in order to simulate the CGI environment properly.
An alternative is to use WebStack's BaseHTTPRequest Handler support: http://www.python.org/pypi/WebStack

it's nowhere: you're supposed to read it from the socket via the "rfile"
attribute.

Hello all,
I am having difficulty getting the HTTP/1.1 support (i.e. pipelining and persistent connections) for the BaseHTTPServer library to work. When I change the line for the protocol in BaseHTTPServer from "HTTP/1.0" to "HTTP/1.1", the SimpleHTTPServer program can still serve directory listings and even graphics files, but it hangs when I try to browse to an HTML file. I have a directory of web pages that I use to test servers (such as...

Hello.
I am using the basehttpserver to implement the HTTP protocol to serve
a fairly large lexicon that I have loaded as a dictionary in python.
Rather than writing a whole server, I would like to reuse the
BaseHTTPserver classes. I am interested in finding a way to serve the
dict without loading the whole dict into memory everytime an HTTP
request is made. The dict lives in local memory when it is loaded and
takes a long time to load.

BaseHTTPServer uses the mimetools module, which is deprecated.
Are the maintainers of modules that are in the standard library listed
somewhere? Who could/should I send patches to?
Also, does anyone else find using the email module to decode HTTP POST
multipart data a bit weird? Are there any significant differences
between parsing HTTP POST requests and email messages, which would
warrant a special module for HTTP?

Hi all,
I'm writing a super simple little debugging HTTP server which simply
returns the path and parameters it receives requests for.
E.g. requesting /meth?a=b returns something like:
Command: GET
Path: /meth
Params: {'a': }
This is fine for GET, but I can't see how I access parameters passed
