New submission from Géry <gery.o...@gmail.com>: The API of [`http.server`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html) supports the `directory` optional parameter for `CGIHTTPRequestHandler` (which is inherited from `SimpleHTTPRequestHandler`). The CLI of `http.server` supports the corresponding `-d/--directory` option.
The `-d/--directory` option is passed to `SimpleHTTPRequestHandler` as the `directory` argument: > python -m http.server --directory /tmp/ But the `-d/--directory` option is not passed to `CGIHTTPRequestHandler` (which is enabled with the `--cgi` option): > python -m http.server --directory /tmp/ --cgi So the option is ignored in that case. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 410973 nosy: docs@python, maggyero priority: normal pull_requests: 28899 severity: normal status: open title: Pass the -d/--directory command-line option to http.server.CGIHTTPRequestHandler type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46436> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
