Hi all,
I was playing with some simple HTTP CGI server code
and discovered what I think may be a bug in
CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler. A "GET" request
without a leading '/' from a telnet session displays
the CGI script rather than the script's output. If the
request includes the leading '/', the script is run as
expected. Is this a bug?
Windows 2000
Python 2.4.3
<server>
import os, sys, socket
from BaseHTTPServer import HTTPServer
from CGIHTTPServer import CGIHTTPRequestHandler
os.chdir('docs')
myip = '127.0.0.1'
serv = HTTPServer((myip, 8000), CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
serv.serve_forever()
</server>
<docs/cgi-bin/hello.py>
print 'Content-type: text/html\n'
print '<html><head><title>Hello</title></head>'
print '<body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>'
</docs/cgi-bin/hello.py>
Telnet without a leading '/' in the request displays
the script:
<telnet>
telnet localhost 8000
GET cgi-bin/hello.py
print 'Content-type: text/html\n'
print '<html><head><title>Hello</title></head>'
print '<body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>'
Connection to host lost.
</telnet>
Telnet with a leading '/' in the request runs the
script:
<telnet>
telnet localhost 8000
GET /cgi-bin/hello.py
Content-type: text/html
<html><head><title>Hello</title></head>
<body><h1>Hello</h
1></body></html>
Connection to host lost.
</telnet>
