Category: Python Library Group: Feature Request Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Trailing slash redirection for SimpleHTTPServer Initial Comment: As known by every serious web server developer, the lack of a trailing slash on direcories can cause some serious web page loading issues. Take the following examples... Let us imagine that: 'http://www.foo.com/foo' points to a directory containing 'index.html'. A web server could return the contents of 'index.html', but then any relative urls would be relative to the / path of the web server. A better web server would instead redirect the user to 'http://www.foo.com/foo/'. SimpleHTTPServer does not do any such redirection, and the documentation for forcing a client to redirect is difficult to find on the internet. In the comments I will post a replacement SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.send_head method which does automatic trailing slash redirection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2005-10-06 00:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 I've attached a file which contains the method, which should save everyone from having to deal with SF's line wrapping. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2005-10-05 23:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 def send_head(self): """Common code for GET and HEAD commands.
