I've done a bunch of work on this in twisted.web2, and it is pretty much completely separable from the rest of the server (it doesn't import any other twisted modules). I have parsers for almost all of the standard HTTP headers. There is a standard header format that many of the headers conform to. http://svn.twistedmatrix.com/cvs/trunk/twisted/web2/http_headers.py? view=auto James _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
