Hi all, Im having trouble with the following code for handling GET requests from a client to my HTTP server. What i want to do is restrict access only to a folder and contents(files) within this folder. But when trying to open files (eg text files) i get file not found error from send_head() method of SimpleHTTPServer. The reason behind this is when opening the file the path to the file is only C:\file.txt when it should be C:\folder\file.txt. And when i remove the code that checks if path contains "txt" it works (i can access files without errors).
Any help will be greatly appreciated! <code> def list_directory(self, path): """Helper to produce a directory listing (absent index.html). Return value is either a file object, or None (indicating an error). In either case, the headers are sent, making the interface the same as for send_head(). """ f = StringIO() p = self.translate_path(self.path) if p.find("txt") == -1: f.write("<title>httpserver.py: Access Denied</title>" ) f.write("<h2>httpserver.py: Access Denied</h2>" ) else: try: list = os.listdir(path) except os.error: self.send_error(404, "No permission to list directory") return None list.sort(key=lambda a: a.lower()) displaypath = cgi.escape(urllib.unquote(self.path)) f.write("<title>Directory listing for %s</title>\n" %displaypath) f.write("<h2>Directory listing for %s</h2>\n" % displaypath) f.write("<hr>\n<ul>\n") for name in list: fullname = os.path.join(path, name) displayname = linkname = name # Append / for directories or @ for symbolic links if os.path.isdir(fullname): displayname = name + "/" linkname = name + "/" if os.path.islink(fullname): displayname = name + "@" # Note: a link to a directory displays with @ and links with / f.write('<li><a href="%s">%s</a>\n' % (urllib.quote(linkname), \ cgi.escape(displayname))) f.write("</ul>\n<hr>\n") length = f.tell() f.seek(0) self.send_response(200) self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html") self.send_header("Content-Length", str(length)) self.end_headers() return f </code> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
