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.
