36 # Here's a quote from the NCSA httpd docs about log file format.
38 # | The logfile format is as follows. Each line consists of:
40 # | host rfc931 authuser [DD/Mon/YYYY:hh:mm:ss] "request" ddd bbbb
42 # | host: Either the DNS name or the IP number of the remote client
43 # | rfc931: Any information returned by identd for this person,
45 # | authuser: If user sent a userid for authentication, the user name,
48 # | Mon: Month (calendar name)
50 # | hh: hour (24-hour format, the machine's timezone)
53 # | request: The first line of the HTTP request as sent by the client.
54 # | ddd: the status code returned by the server, - if not available.
55 # | bbbb: the total number of bytes sent,
56 # | *not including the HTTP/1.0 header*, - if not available
58 # | You can determine the name of the file accessed through request.
60 # (Actually, the latter is only true if you know the server configuration
61 # at the time the request was made!)

114 """HTTP request handler base class.
116 The following explanation of HTTP serves to guide you through the
117 code as well as to expose any misunderstandings I may have about
118 HTTP (so you don't need to read the code to figure out I'm wrong
121 HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is an extensible protocol on
122 top of a reliable stream transport (e.g. TCP/IP). The protocol
123 recognizes three parts to a request:
125 1. One line identifying the request type and path
126 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
127 3. An optional data part
129 The headers and data are separated by a blank line.
131 The first line of the request has the form
133 <command> <path> <version>
135 where <command> is a (case-sensitive) keyword such as GET or POST,
136 <path> is a string containing path information for the request,
137 and <version> should be the string "HTTP/1.0". <path> is encoded
138 using the URL encoding scheme (using %xx to signify the ASCII
139 character with hex code xx).
141 The protocol is vague about whether lines are separated by LF
142 characters or by CRLF pairs -- for compatibility with the widest
143 range of clients, both should be accepted. Similarly, whitespace
144 in the request line should be treated sensibly (allowing multiple
145 spaces between components and allowing trailing whitespace).
147 Similarly, for output, lines ought to be separated by CRLF pairs
148 but most clients grok LF characters just fine.
150 If the first line of the request has the form
154 (i.e. <version> is left out) then this is assumed to be an HTTP
155 0.9 request; this form has no optional headers and data part and
156 the reply consists of just the data.
158 The reply form of the HTTP 1.0 protocol again has three parts:
160 1. One line giving the response code
161 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
164 Again, the headers and data are separated by a blank line.
166 The response code line has the form
168 <version> <responsecode> <responsestring>
170 where <version> is the protocol version (always "HTTP/1.0"),
171 <responsecode> is a 3-digit response code indicating success or
172 failure of the request, and <responsestring> is an optional
173 human-readable string explaining what the response code means.
175 This server parses the request and the headers, and then calls a
176 function specific to the request type (<command>). Specifically,
177 a request SPAM will be handled by a method do_SPAM(). If no
178 such method exists the server sends an error response to the
179 client. If it exists, it is called with no arguments:
183 Note that the request name is case sensitive (i.e. SPAM and spam
184 are different requests).
186 The various request details are stored in instance variables:
188 - client_address is the client IP address in the form (host,
191 - command, path and version are the broken-down request line;
193 - headers is an instance of mimetools.Message (or a derived
194 class) containing the header information;
196 - rfile is a file object open for reading positioned at the
197 start of the optional input data part;
199 - wfile is a file object open for writing.
201 IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADHERE TO THE PROTOCOL FOR WRITING!
203 The first thing to be written must be the response line. Then
204 follow 0 or more header lines, then a blank line, and then the
205 actual data (if any). The meaning of the header lines depends on
206 the command executed by the server; in most cases, when data is
207 returned, there should be at least one header line of the form
209 Content-type: <type>/<subtype>
211 where <type> and <subtype> should be registered MIME types,
212 e.g. "text/html" or "text/plain".
