A few things to keep in mind here is that when it comes to POST requests: 1. using persisent-connections (keepalive) is broken because of long-standing bugs in nearly every browser 2. the bug in most browsers is that they will often send the body *plus* 2 bytes (CR and LF). Depending on a variety of factors, these last two bytes may be send in a different write(2) call by the client and may not end up in the same packet as the last packat of the body. Consequently, if you (the server) only read CONTENT-LENGTH bytes, produce a response, and then close the socket you will cause a TCP reset to be sent to the client because there is unread data in your read buffer.
The safest thing to do is to read content-length "plus a little bit". You do *not*, however, provide that extra data, if any, to any consumers. -- Jon _______________________________________________ Paste-users mailing list [email protected] http://webwareforpython.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/paste-users
