I'm running CGIHTTPServer with the serve_forever method and I cannot
get the darn thing to stop unless I kill the command prompt its
running in. I searched for similar posts here and found this:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/6879d74ad7679349/ff7d0aa2be964767?lnk=gst&q=HTTPServer+kill#ff7d0aa2be964767
But there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. I tried one of the
last proposed solutions:
class Server(SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn, SocketServer.TCPServer):
pause = 0.25
allow_reuse_address = True
def __init__(self, server_address, RequestHandlerClass):
SocketServer.TCPServer.__init__(self, server_address,
RequestHandlerClass)
self.socket.settimeout(self.pause)
self.serving = 1
...
def serve_forever(self):
while self.serving:
self.handle_request()
And that worked, but the last post in the thread suggested '...this
would cause timeouts in the middle of handling request whenever a
client is slow'
Can anyone comment on this solution or have other possible solutions?
Eventually I probably will want this to run as a windows service to
serve up some internal apps, so it would be great if I could the
server to shutdown gracefully.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
