Yeah, a more complete example would be
cmd = (
'REDIRECT_STATUS={status} '
'REQUEST_METHOD={method} '
'SCRIPT_FILENAME={file} '
'SCRIPT_NAME=/index.php '
'PATH_INFO={path} '
'SERVER_NAME=site.tld '
'SERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP/1.1 '
'REQUEST_URI={path} '
'HTTP_HOST=site.tld '
'/usr/bin/php-cgi'
).format(
status=request.status,
method=request.method,
path=request.path,
file=my_php_path_mapper(request.path),
)
php = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
response, err = php.communicate()
if php.return_code != 0:
return ResponseError(content=err)
return Response(content=response)
still incomplete and mostly wrong, but good enough to illustrate the
main pattern :)
