SimpleHTTPServer, queries unhandled?

[Bryan Rasmussen]

Hey just doing some preliminary testing with SimpleHTTPServe r, and i noticed
that when i request a resource with a query string parameters that this was not
handled.

is this correct, or is there a method to set query string handling?

Well, since SimpleHTTPServe r doesn't implement CGIs, the only stuff it
can serve up is static content, which clearly can't use any query string
input anyway. You probably want CGIHTTPServer.

Try this in IDLE:

import CGIHTTPServer
CGIHTTPServer.t est()

This starts serving right away. You can also look at CGIHTTPServer.p y
in your Python/Lib to see how test() has been implemented.

test() starts serving from the current directory (of running python).
If you create a folder called cgi-bin and put a testcgi.py, this module
executes the .py file and displays the contents in the browser :-)

PS: You can handle query strings accordingly now.
