Hello, everyone. Several instances of a same script, which accepts parameters and does a lengthy job, are executed on a remote machine. I want to couple the script with a tiny HTTP server so that I can connect to the machine with a browser and monitor the progress of jobs. The HTTP server of each instance will bind to different ports.
A BaseHTTPRequestHandler-derived class must somehow know the parameters of each instance/job in order to return instance/job- specific result back to the client in do_GET. However, there is no way to pass parameters (of the lengthy job) because the constructor of HTTPServer expects a BaseHTTPRequestHandler-derived "class", instead of an "object". I cannot (or should not) dynamically create a "BaseHTTPRequestHandler- derived "class" for each instance of the script, right? Do I misunderstand the design philosophy of HTTPServer and BaseHTTPRequestHandler, and they should not be used in this way? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
