New submission from anatoly techtonik <techto...@gmail.com>: http://docs.python.org/library/wsgiref.html#wsgiref.util.guess_scheme
The documentation says servers typically set HTTPS variable to a value of “1” or “yes”, when a request is received via SSL, but CGI tutorials, IIS and Apache set this to “on”. Misleading documentation may be the reason of the bug with mod_wsgi that changes Apache's variable from “on” to “1” - https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50581 The documentation should at least stress that “on” is the mainstream value for this variable. It will help to mention at least one popular server that returns “1”. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 126263 nosy: docs@python, techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: wsgiref should mention that CGI scripts usually expect HTTPS variable to be set to 'on' versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10906> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
