But is > that the best way to go about making a simple HTTP server? For most purposes, I would suggest one of the third-party web frameworks. For simple things, I'm partial to Tornado, but it's not the only choice. The advantage of these frameworks is they give you a lot of boilerplate code that handles all the low-level protocol gunk and lets you concentrate on writing your application logic. My gut feeling is that nobody should ever be using BaseHTTPServer for anything other than as a learning exercise (or as a base on which to build other frameworks). It's just too low level. I haven't used the 3.x http.server, but http.server looks like much of the same. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
