→ curl -sI http://localhost:9000/ HTTP/1.0 501 Unsupported method ('HEAD') Server: BaseHTTP/0.6 Python/3.3.0 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:38:32 GMT Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8 Connection: close So this is normal, http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-22#section-6.6.2 except that it would be better to use "501 Not Implemented" through the prose is optional. The content-type is also kind of useless. That would deserve to open another bug. And → curl http://localhost:9000/ Server: BaseHTTP/0.6 Python/3.3.0 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:39:46 GMT Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8 Connection: close <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <title>Error response</title> </head> <body> <h1>Error response</h1> <p>Error code: 500</p> <p>Message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "server.py", line 9, in do_GET assert(False) AssertionError .</p> <p>Error code explanation: 500 - Server got itself in trouble.</p> </body> </html> OK. The server is answering with HTTP/1.0 and then a Traceback… which has nothing to do here. We can see that in more details with a telnet → telnet localhost 9000 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:9000 HTTP/1.0 500 Traceback (most recent call last): File "server.py", line 9, in do_GET assert(False) AssertionError Server: BaseHTTP/0.6 Python/3.3.0 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:49:04 GMT Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8 Connection: close <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <title>Error response</title> </head> <body> <h1>Error response</h1> <p>Error code: 500</p> <p>Message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "server.py", line 9, in do_GET assert(False) AssertionError .</p> <p>Error code explanation: 500 - Server got itself in trouble.</p> </body> </html> Note that when not sending the traceback with the following code #!/usr/bin/env python3.3 import http.server import traceback class httphandler(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_GET(self): try: assert(False) except: self.send_error(500) if __name__=='__main__': addr=('',9000) http.server.HTTPServer(addr,httphandler).serve_forever() Everything is working well. → telnet localhost 9000 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1...

I'm looking at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.3/Lib/http/server.py#l404 For the second part of your message. I don't think the two issues should be mixed. Maybe open another bug report. ---------- nosy: +karlcow _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12921> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
