-------------------------------------------------

I have set up apache + mod_wsgi and have done some playing with it to help 
get some understanding of how client  and server interact.

I am new to mod_wsgi and have not yet used it in anger, but the simple apps 
I have written seem to be working ok.

However there is something I would like to understand regarding how the 
browser decides when to render a page.

In the simple application below(tst1.wsgi) below I generate a simple html 
page that contains an image, logging the REQUEST_URI
for each request.

If, in the browser, I type the url <myserver>/wsgipractice/tst1/index the 
browser attempts to fully render the page and puts in a second request to 
get the image. The log output containing the REQUEST_URIs looks like:
/wsgipractice/tst1/index
/wsgipractice/tst1/images/myimage.jpg

If, however, I type only the root url in the browser: 
<myserver>/wsgipractice/tst1 the browser does not seem to attempt to render 
the html page. No second request is put in to fetch the image. The log 
output containing the REQUEST_URIs looks like:
/wsgipractice/tst1

It does not seem to matter what comes after tst1 in the url (I can type in 
tst1/bob, or even simply terminate with separator: tst1/). 

Does anyone know what it is that triggers the browser to fully (or not) 
render a page ?


tst1.wsgi
----------
import os

def get_page(environ, mime_type):

    html_str = \
        ('<html><body>'
         '<center><p style="font-weight:bold;">LARRY HOME</p></center>'
         '<div style="background-image: url(images/myimage.jpg)">'
         '<a href="http://google.com";>'
         '<div>Home</div></a>'
         '</div>'
         '<br><p>Body</p><br></body></html>')

    return html_str, mime_type

def application(environ, start_response):

    status = '200 OK'

    output = u''

    log_file = open(('/logs/tstpagegen.log'), 'a')

    log_file.write(environ['REQUEST_URI'] + '\n')

    log_file.close()

    output, mime_type = get_page(environ, 'text/html')

    response_headers = [('Content-type', mime_type),
                        ('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]

    start_response(status, response_headers)

    return [output]
