Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.1.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Noah Spurrier (noah) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Confusing code (typos?) in CGIHTTPServer

Initial Comment: I found the comment on line 224 of CGIHTTPServer.py to be confusing: # On Windows, use python.exe, not python.exe

Also, since do_POST() does not call send_head(), then why do you need to handle the following condition in send_head() line 63???: if self.is_cgi(): return self.run_cgi() Note that do_POST() already calls self.run_cgi() on line 57, so why would send_head() call it?

I'm sure I'm just being a dweeb and I'm missing something, but if not then I hope this clears up the code. I'm still confused why my custom do_POST() is not working...

Yours,
