40 # ---------
42 # Here's a quote from the NCSA httpd docs about log file format.
44 # | The logfile format is as follows. Each line consists of:
45 # |
46 # | host rfc931 authuser [DD/Mon/YYYY:hh:mm:ss] "request" ddd bbbb
47 # |
48 # | host: Either the DNS name or the IP number of the remote client
49 # | rfc931: Any information returned by identd for this person,
50 # | - otherwise.
51 # | authuser: If user sent a userid for authentication, the user name,
52 # | - otherwise.
53 # | DD: Day
54 # | Mon: Month (calendar name)
55 # | YYYY: Year
56 # | hh: hour (24-hour format, the machine's timezone)
57 # | mm: minutes
58 # | ss: seconds
59 # | request: The first line of the HTTP request as sent by the client.
60 # | ddd: the status code returned by the server, - if not available.
61 # | bbbb: the total number of bytes sent,
62 # | *not including the HTTP/1.0 header*, - if not available
63 # |
64 # | You can determine the name of the file accessed through request.
66 # (Actually, the latter is only true if you know the server configuration
67 # at the time the request was made!)

118 The following explanation of HTTP serves to guide you through the
119 code as well as to expose any misunderstandings I may have about
120 HTTP (so you don't need to read the code to figure out I'm wrong
121 :-).
123 HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is an extensible protocol on
124 top of a reliable stream transport (e.g. TCP/IP). The protocol
125 recognizes three parts to a request:
127 1. One line identifying the request type and path
128 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
129 3. An optional data part
131 The headers and data are separated by a blank line.
133 The first line of the request has the form
135 <command> <path> <version>
137 where <command> is a (case-sensitive) keyword such as GET or POST,
138 <path> is a string containing path information for the request,
139 and <version> should be the string "HTTP/1.0" or "HTTP/1.1".
140 <path> is encoded using the URL encoding scheme (using %xx to signify
141 the ASCII character with hex code xx).
143 The specification specifies that lines are separated by CRLF but
144 for compatibility with the widest range of clients recommends
145 servers also handle LF. Similarly, whitespace in the request line
146 is treated sensibly (allowing multiple spaces between components
147 and allowing trailing whitespace).
149 Similarly, for output, lines ought to be separated by CRLF pairs
150 but most clients grok LF characters just fine.
152 If the first line of the request has the form
154 <command> <path>
156 (i.e. <version> is left out) then this is assumed to be an HTTP
157 0.9 request; this form has no optional headers and data part and
158 the reply consists of just the data.
160 The reply form of the HTTP 1.x protocol again has three parts:
162 1. One line giving the response code
163 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
164 3. The data
166 Again, the headers and data are separated by a blank line.
168 The response code line has the form
170 <version> <responsecode> <responsestring>
172 where <version> is the protocol version ("HTTP/1.0" or "HTTP/1.1"),
173 <responsecode> is a 3-digit response code indicating success or
174 failure of the request, and <responsestring> is an optional
175 human-readable string explaining what the response code means.
177 This server parses the request and the headers, and then calls a
178 function specific to the request type (<command>). Specifically,
179 a request SPAM will be handled by a method do_SPAM(). If no
180 such method exists the server sends an error response to the
181 client. If it exists, it is called with no arguments:
183 do_SPAM()
185 Note that the request name is case sensitive (i.e. SPAM and spam
186 are different requests).
188 The various request details are stored in instance variables:
190 - client_address is the client IP address in the form (host,
191 port);
193 - command, path and version are the broken-down request line;
195 - headers is an instance of mimetools.Message (or a derived
196 class) containing the header information;
198 - rfile is a file object open for reading positioned at the
199 start of the optional input data part;
201 - wfile is a file object open for writing.
203 IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADHERE TO THE PROTOCOL FOR WRITING!
205 The first thing to be written must be the response line. Then
206 follow 0 or more header lines, then a blank line, and then the
207 actual data (if any). The meaning of the header lines depends on
208 the command executed by the server; in most cases, when data is
209 returned, there should be at least one header line of the form
211 Content-type: <type>/<subtype>
213 where <type> and <subtype> should be registered MIME types,
214 e.g. "text/html" or "text/plain".
