http.server — HTTP 伺服器¶

原始碼：Lib/http/server.py

此模組定義了用於實作 HTTP 伺服器的類別。

One class,HTTPServer, is asocketserver.TCPServer subclass.It creates and listens at the HTTP socket, dispatching the requests to ahandler. Code to create and run the server looks like this:

defrun(server_class=HTTPServer,handler_class=BaseHTTPRequestHandler):server_address=('',8000)httpd=server_class(server_address,handler_class)httpd.serve_forever()

classhttp.server.HTTPServer(server_address,RequestHandlerClass)¶

This class builds on theTCPServer class by storingthe server address as instance variables namedserver_name andserver_port. The server is accessible by the handler, typicallythrough the handler'sserver instance variable.

classhttp.server.ThreadingHTTPServer(server_address,RequestHandlerClass)¶

This class is identical to HTTPServer but uses threads to handlerequests by using theThreadingMixIn. Thisis useful to handle web browsers pre-opening sockets, on whichHTTPServer would wait indefinitely.

在 3.7 版被加入.

TheHTTPServer andThreadingHTTPServer must be givenaRequestHandlerClass on instantiation, of which this moduleprovides three different variants:

classhttp.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler(request,client_address,server)¶

This class is used to handle the HTTP requests that arrive at the server. Byitself, it cannot respond to any actual HTTP requests; it must be subclassedto handle each request method (e.g. GET or POST).BaseHTTPRequestHandler provides a number of class and instancevariables, and methods for use by subclasses.

The handler will parse the request and the headers, then call a methodspecific to the request type. The method name is constructed from therequest. For example, for the request methodSPAM, thedo_SPAM()method will be called with no arguments. All of the relevant information isstored in instance variables of the handler. Subclasses should not need tooverride or extend the__init__() method.

BaseHTTPRequestHandler has the following instance variables:

client_address¶

Contains a tuple of the form(host,port) referring to the client'saddress.

server¶

Contains the server instance.

close_connection¶

Boolean that should be set beforehandle_one_request() returns,indicating if another request may be expected, or if the connection shouldbe shut down.

requestline¶

Contains the string representation of the HTTP request line. Theterminating CRLF is stripped. This attribute should be set byhandle_one_request(). If no valid request line was processed, itshould be set to the empty string.

command¶

Contains the command (request type). For example,'GET'.

path¶

Contains the request path. If query component of the URL is present,thenpath includes the query. Using the terminology ofRFC 3986,path here includeshier-part and thequery.

request_version¶

Contains the version string from the request. For example,'HTTP/1.0'.

headers¶

Holds an instance of the class specified by theMessageClass classvariable. This instance parses and manages the headers in the HTTPrequest. Theparse_headers() function fromhttp.client is used to parse the headers and it requires that theHTTP request provide a validRFC 2822 style header.

rfile¶

Anio.BufferedIOBase input stream, ready to read fromthe start of the optional input data.

wfile¶

Contains the output stream for writing a response back to theclient. Proper adherence to the HTTP protocol must be used when writing tothis stream in order to achieve successful interoperation with HTTPclients.

在 3.6 版的變更:This is anio.BufferedIOBase stream.

BaseHTTPRequestHandler 擁有以下屬性：

server_version¶

Specifies the server software version. You may want to override this. Theformat is multiple whitespace-separated strings, where each string is ofthe form name[/version]. For example,'BaseHTTP/0.2'.

sys_version¶

Contains the Python system version, in a form usable by theversion_string method and theserver_version classvariable. For example,'Python/1.4'.

error_message_format¶

Specifies a format string that should be used bysend_error() methodfor building an error response to the client. The string is filled bydefault with variables fromresponses based on the status codethat passed tosend_error().

error_content_type¶

Specifies the Content-Type HTTP header of error responses sent to theclient. The default value is'text/html'.

protocol_version¶

Specifies the HTTP version to which the server is conformant. It is sentin responses to let the client know the server's communicationcapabilities for future requests. If set to'HTTP/1.1', the server will permit HTTP persistent connections;however, your servermust then include an accurateContent-Lengthheader (usingsend_header()) in all of its responses to clients.For backwards compatibility, the setting defaults to'HTTP/1.0'.

MessageClass¶

Specifies anemail.message.Message-like class to parse HTTPheaders. Typically, this is not overridden, and it defaults tohttp.client.HTTPMessage.

responses¶

This attribute contains a mapping of error code integers to two-element tuplescontaining a short and long message. For example,{code:(shortmessage,longmessage)}. Theshortmessage is usually used as themessage key in anerror response, andlongmessage as theexplain key. It is used bysend_response_only() andsend_error() methods.

ABaseHTTPRequestHandler instance has the following methods:

handle()¶

Callshandle_one_request() once (or, if persistent connections areenabled, multiple times) to handle incoming HTTP requests. You shouldnever need to override it; instead, implement appropriatedo_*()methods.

handle_one_request()¶

This method will parse and dispatch the request to the appropriatedo_*() method. You should never need to override it.

handle_expect_100()¶

When an HTTP/1.1 conformant server receives anExpect:100-continuerequest header it responds back with a100Continue followed by200OK headers.This method can be overridden to raise an error if the server does notwant the client to continue. For e.g. server can choose to send417ExpectationFailed as a response header andreturnFalse.

在 3.2 版被加入.

send_error(code,message=None,explain=None)¶

Sends and logs a complete error reply to the client. The numericcodespecifies the HTTP error code, withmessage as an optional, short, humanreadable description of the error. Theexplain argument can be used toprovide more detailed information about the error; it will be formattedusing theerror_message_format attribute and emitted, aftera complete set of headers, as the response body. Theresponsesattribute holds the default values formessage andexplain thatwill be used if no value is provided; for unknown codes the default valuefor both is the string???. The body will be empty if the method isHEAD or the response code is one of the following:1xx,204NoContent,205ResetContent,304NotModified.

在 3.4 版的變更:The error response includes a Content-Length header.Added theexplain argument.

send_response(code,message=None)¶

Adds a response header to the headers buffer and logs the acceptedrequest. The HTTP response line is written to the internal buffer,followed byServer andDate headers. The values for these two headersare picked up from theversion_string() anddate_time_string() methods, respectively. If the server does notintend to send any other headers using thesend_header() method,thensend_response() should be followed by anend_headers()call.

在 3.3 版的變更:Headers are stored to an internal buffer andend_headers()needs to be called explicitly.

send_header(keyword,value)¶

Adds the HTTP header to an internal buffer which will be written to theoutput stream when eitherend_headers() orflush_headers() isinvoked.keyword should specify the header keyword, withvaluespecifying its value. Note that, after the send_header calls are done,end_headers() MUST BE called in order to complete the operation.

在 3.2 版的變更:Headers are stored in an internal buffer.

send_response_only(code,message=None)¶

Sends the response header only, used for the purposes when100Continue response is sent by the server to the client. The headers notbuffered and sent directly the output stream.If themessage is notspecified, the HTTP message corresponding the responsecode is sent.

在 3.2 版被加入.

end_headers()¶

Adds a blank line(indicating the end of the HTTP headers in the response)to the headers buffer and callsflush_headers().

在 3.2 版的變更:The buffered headers are written to the output stream.

flush_headers()¶

Finally send the headers to the output stream and flush the internalheaders buffer.

在 3.3 版被加入.

log_request(code='-',size='-')¶

Logs an accepted (successful) request.code should specify the numericHTTP code associated with the response. If a size of the response isavailable, then it should be passed as thesize parameter.

log_error(...)¶

Logs an error when a request cannot be fulfilled. By default, it passesthe message tolog_message(), so it takes the same arguments(format and additional values).

log_message(format,...)¶

Logs an arbitrary message tosys.stderr. This is typically overriddento create custom error logging mechanisms. Theformat argument is astandard printf-style format string, where the additional arguments tolog_message() are applied as inputs to the formatting. The clientip address and current date and time are prefixed to every message logged.

version_string()¶

Returns the server software's version string. This is a combination of theserver_version andsys_version attributes.

date_time_string(timestamp=None)¶

Returns the date and time given bytimestamp (which must beNone or inthe format returned bytime.time()), formatted for a messageheader. Iftimestamp is omitted, it uses the current date and time.

The result looks like'Sun,06Nov199408:49:37GMT'.

log_date_time_string()¶

Returns the current date and time, formatted for logging.

address_string()¶

Returns the client address.

在 3.3 版的變更:Previously, a name lookup was performed. To avoid name resolutiondelays, it now always returns the IP address.

classhttp.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler(request,client_address,server,directory=None)¶

This class serves files from the directorydirectory and below,or the current directory ifdirectory is not provided, directlymapping the directory structure to HTTP requests.

在 3.7 版的變更:新增directory 參數。

在 3.9 版的變更:Thedirectory parameter accepts apath-like object.

A lot of the work, such as parsing the request, is done by the base classBaseHTTPRequestHandler. This class implements thedo_GET()anddo_HEAD() functions.

The following are defined as class-level attributes ofSimpleHTTPRequestHandler:

server_version¶

This will be"SimpleHTTP/"+__version__, where__version__ isdefined at the module level.

extensions_map¶

A dictionary mapping suffixes into MIME types, contains custom overridesfor the default system mappings. The mapping is used case-insensitively,and so should contain only lower-cased keys.

在 3.9 版的變更:This dictionary is no longer filled with the default system mappings,but only contains overrides.

TheSimpleHTTPRequestHandler class defines the following methods:

do_HEAD()¶

This method serves the'HEAD' request type: it sends the headers itwould send for the equivalentGET request. See thedo_GET()method for a more complete explanation of the possible headers.

do_GET()¶

The request is mapped to a local file by interpreting the request as apath relative to the current working directory.

If the request was mapped to a directory, the directory is checked for afile namedindex.html orindex.htm (in that order). If found, thefile's contents are returned; otherwise a directory listing is generatedby calling thelist_directory() method. This method usesos.listdir() to scan the directory, and returns a404 errorresponse if thelistdir() fails.

If the request was mapped to a file, it is opened. AnyOSErrorexception in opening the requested file is mapped to a404,'Filenotfound' error. If there was an'If-Modified-Since'header in the request, and the file was not modified after this time,a304,'NotModified' response is sent. Otherwise, the contenttype is guessed by calling theguess_type() method, which in turnuses theextensions_map variable, and the file contents are returned.

A'Content-type:' header with the guessed content type is output,followed by a'Content-Length:' header with the file's size and a'Last-Modified:' header with the file's modification time.

Then follows a blank line signifying the end of the headers, and then thecontents of the file are output.

For example usage, see the implementation of thetest functioninLib/http/server.py.

在 3.7 版的變更:Support of the'If-Modified-Since' header.

TheSimpleHTTPRequestHandler class can be used in the followingmanner in order to create a very basic webserver serving files relative tothe current directory:

importhttp.serverimportsocketserverPORT=8000Handler=http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandlerwithsocketserver.TCPServer(("",PORT),Handler)ashttpd:print("serving at port",PORT)httpd.serve_forever()

SimpleHTTPRequestHandler can also be subclassed to enhance behavior,such as using different index file names by overriding the class attributeindex_pages.

classhttp.server.CGIHTTPRequestHandler(request,client_address,server)¶

This class is used to serve either files or output of CGI scripts from thecurrent directory and below. Note that mapping HTTP hierarchic structure tolocal directory structure is exactly as inSimpleHTTPRequestHandler.

備註

CGI scripts run by theCGIHTTPRequestHandler class cannot executeredirects (HTTP code 302), because code 200 (script output follows) issent prior to execution of the CGI script. This pre-empts the statuscode.

The class will however, run the CGI script, instead of serving it as a file,if it guesses it to be a CGI script. Only directory-based CGI are used ---the other common server configuration is to treat special extensions asdenoting CGI scripts.

Thedo_GET() anddo_HEAD() functions are modified to run CGI scriptsand serve the output, instead of serving files, if the request leads tosomewhere below thecgi_directories path.

TheCGIHTTPRequestHandler defines the following data member:

cgi_directories¶

This defaults to['/cgi-bin','/htbin'] and describes directories totreat as containing CGI scripts.

TheCGIHTTPRequestHandler defines the following method:

do_POST()¶

This method serves the'POST' request type, only allowed for CGIscripts. Error 501, "Can only POST to CGI scripts", is output when tryingto POST to a non-CGI url.

Note that CGI scripts will be run with UID of user nobody, for securityreasons. Problems with the CGI script will be translated to error 403.

Deprecated since version 3.13, will be removed in version 3.15:CGIHTTPRequestHandler is being removed in 3.15. CGI has notbeen considered a good way to do things for well over a decade. This codehas been unmaintained for a while now and sees very little practical use.Retaining it could lead to furthersecurity considerations.
