I've just had a brief look at the SimpleHTTPServer documentation, and whilst I may have misunderstood what is required from the admittedly dry prose, I think I can make a few suggestions. > Here's my script: > -------------------- > # File: webbrowser-test.py > > import webbrowser, SimpleHTTPServer > from StringIO import StringIO > > f=open('testpage.html', 'rb') > myPage = f.read() Here, you're reading the page to serve it up later, but why aren't you letting the handler fetch the page from the file? Surely, that's what the handler does in this case. > class MyRequestHandler(SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler): > def send_head(self): > self.send_response(200) > self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html") > self.end_headers() > return StringIO(myPage) Here, you're serving up the page. However, send_head appears not to be part of the public interface to the handler, so it looks like you're overriding some fairly fundamental behaviour of the handler which stops any other file from being served as well. Perhaps you should remove this method. > webbrowser.open("http://127.0.0.1:8000", new=0, autoraise=1) > SimpleHTTPServer.test(MyRequestHandler) > > -------------------- > > Here's my sample directory: > --------------------------------- > webbrowser-test.py > testpage.html > m_files/ > |_____stylesheet.css > |_____logo.gif > -------------------------------- With testpage.html in the current directory, without the send_head method, you should still get the page served up. However, you need to make sure that the files in the subdirectory are referenced properly in your page: something like "m_files/logo.gif" should cause the logo to be fetched. > Thanks for having a look.
