New submission from Glenn Linderman <v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com>: is_cgi doesn't properly handle PATH_INFO parts of the path. The Python2.x CGIHTTPServer.py had this right, but the introduction and use of _url_collapse_path_split broke it.
_url_collapse_path_split splits the URL into a two parts, the second part is guaranteed to be a single path component, and the first part is the rest. However, URLs such as /cgi-bin/foo.exe/this/is/PATH_INFO/parameters can and do want to exist, but the code in is_cgi will never properly detect that /cgi-bin/foo.exe is the appropriate executable, and the rest should be PATH_INFO. This used to work correctly in the precedecessor CGIHTTPServer.py code in Python 2.6, so is a regression. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 121876 nosy: v+python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: http.server.is_cgi fails to handle CGI URLs containing PATH_INFO type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10484> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
