Here's my code. It's a teeny weeny little HTTP server. (I'm not really
trying to reinvent the wheel here. What I'm really doing is writing a
dispatching proxy server, but this is the shortest way to illustrate the
problem I'm having):
from SocketServer import *
from socket import *
from select import select
class myHandler(StreamRequestHandler):
def handle(self):
print '>>>>>>>>>>>'
while 1:
sl = select([self.rfile],[],[])[0]
if sl:
l = self.rfile.readline()
if len(l)<3: break
print l,
pass
pass
print>>self.wfile, 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK'
print>>self.wfile, 'Content-type: text/plain'
print>>self.wfile
print>>self.wfile, 'foo'
self.rfile.close()
self.wfile.close()
print '<<<<<<<<<<<<'
pass
pass
def main():
server = TCPServer(('',8080), myHandler)
server.serve_forever()
pass
if __name__ == '__main__': main()
If I telnet into this server and type in an HTTP request manually it
works fine. But when I try to access this with a browser (I've tried
Firefox and Safari -- both do the same thing) it hangs immediately after
reading the first line in the request (i.e. before reading the first
header).
When I click the "stop" button in the browser it breaks the logjam and
the server reads the headers (but then of course it dies trying to write
the response to a now-closed socket).
The only difference I can discern is that the browser send \r\n for
end-of-line while telnet just sends \n. But I don't see why that should
make any difference. So I'm stumped. Any clues would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
rg
