Christian Heimes added the comment: I share RDM's sentiment and I'm not keen to add more complexity.
The http.server module in Python's stdlib is a useful example implementation of a simple HTTP server. I'd rather keep it simple and see a full featured HTTP server on PyPI. These days we don't have to include all batteries in Python's standard library. PyPI and pip made it super easy to install additional packages. I might be convinced to add transparent gzip compression if it is done properly. A temporary file, compress-than-send, and whole content handling (content-length) are all wrong. Your current implementation will result in at least one CVE and a bunch of mails to Python security mailing list. Transparent compression must use chunked encoding with a small in-memory buffer instead of a file and zlib.compressobj() instead of gzip.GzipFile. ---------- nosy: +christian.heimes _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30576> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
