New submission from Charles-François Natali <neolo...@free.fr>: Here's a patch fixing test_httpservers failures when run as root (a couple buildbots are consistently failing on this, e.g. http://python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/x86 FreeBSD 7.2 3.x/builds/2282/steps/test/logs/stdio). The test is failing for two reasons: 1) test_get does a chmod(0) on a directory, and checks that the server returns an error when requesting a file under this directory: unfortunately, filesystem permissions are ignored by root 2) CGI tests fail because they try to execute CGI scripts, created in a temporary directory: unfortunately, the temp directory is created as root with mkdtemp() (mode == 0700), and the http server changes to user "nobody" before running the scripts => EACCES
