Method Details

do_POST(self)

Serve a POST request.

This is only implemented for CGI scripts.

send_head(self)

Version of send_head that support CGI scripts

Overrides: SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.send_head

is_cgi(self)

Test whether self.path corresponds to a CGI script.

Return a tuple (dir, rest) if self.path requires running a CGI script, None if not. Note that rest begins with a slash if it is not empty.

The default implementation tests whether the path begins with one of the strings in the list self.cgi_directories (and the next character is a '/' or the end of the string).
