HTTP Location: supported by HTTPServer?

[Will Stuyvesant]

I have a CGI server written in Python, useful for offline CGI testing.
One of my CGI scripts ends with:

print 'Location: http://myresourcelocation'
print

But this does not work with the Python CGI server...and the same
script *does* work via internet with the Apache server at my work.

Does the BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer not support the HTTP Location
header or something like that?


From my Python CGI server program:



PORT = 8000

class Handler(CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler):
##
# Put subdirectories BEFORE their parent directories or else HTTP
# error 403 (no permission).
cgi_directories = ["/cgi-bin/mystuff", "/cgi-bin"]
##
# A hack for quiet mode: don't want messages (what IP reads what
# URL) to the console box
def log_message(self, *msg): pass

def serve():
httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(("", PORT), Handler)
print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()

class CGIServer(threading.Thread):
def run(self): serve()


if __name__=='__main__':
CGIServer().start()
