The CGI examples of urwid (see http://urwid.org/manual/displaymodules.html#cgi-web-display-module-web-display) don't work on http.server because of missing meta variables. Using cgitb, I found out that the webdriver expects the environment variable `HTTP_X_URWID_METHOD` to be set. The javascript sets the "X-Urwid-Method" header (using XmlHttpRequest), but these are not visible by the CGI python script. So some scripts extra Meta-Variables neet to be set. I think section 4.1.18 applied because it is a http header that is being set. The sections says that these meta-variables are optional though. I argue that having access to extra headers is useful. ---------- nosy: +maarten _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue10486> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
