Well, actually SimpleHTTPRequesthandler extends BaseHTTPHandler with basic
do_GET and do_HEAD methods.
Unittests for http.server shows that this behavior is intended, since:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Lib/test/test_httpservers.py", line 639, in <module>
test_main()
File "Lib/test/test_httpservers.py", line 633, in test_main
SimpleHTTPRequestHandlerTestCase,
File "/Users/maker/dev/cpython/Lib/test/support.py", line 1274, in
run_unittest
_run_suite(suite)
File "/Users/maker/dev/cpython/Lib/test/support.py", line 1249, in _run_suite
raise TestFailed(err)
test.support.TestFailed: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Lib/test/test_httpservers.py", line 273, in test_head
self.check_status_and_reason(response, 200)
File "Lib/test/test_httpservers.py", line 242, in check_status_and_reason
self.assertEqual(response.status, status)
AssertionError: 501 != 200
So, imho this is not a bug. Anyway, I would propose a trivial patch to make
http.server a little more elegant.
