Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Does this affect 3.x also? I would expect that it does.
The question for this issue is whether the program should stop on a gmtime error and say "I will not serve this file until you fix the modification time." or whether it should catch and workaround the problem and merely warn about the mtime. For the latter, BaseHTTPServer could catch the gmtime error and use the current time instead. Or SimpleHTTPServer could catch the exception and omit the Last Modified: header, if that is allowed. I believe the purpose of this header is for caching, and the current time would say to replace any cached value. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25534> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
