[issue15991] BaseHTTPServer with ThreadingMixIn serving wrong data sometimes
Charles-François Natali added the comment: According to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-8.1, persistent connections are default in HTTP 1.1. However, here's what's said about the persistence negotiation: An HTTP/1.1 server MAY assume that a HTTP/1.1 client intends to maintain a persistent connection unless a Connection header including the connection-token close was sent in the request. If the server chooses to close the connection immediately after sending the response, it SHOULD send a Connection header including the connection-token close. An HTTP/1.1 client MAY expect a connection to remain open, but would decide to keep it open based on whether the response from a server contains a Connection header with the connection-token close. In case the client does not want to maintain a connection for more than that request, it SHOULD send a Connection header including the connection-token close. If either the client or the server sends the close token in the Connection header, that request becomes the last one for the connection. And if you have a look at the strace output (or a tcpdump capture), you see that httpserver indeeds sends a Connection: close header, which wget ignores: select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {900, 0})= 1 (in [5], left {900, 0}) recvfrom(5, Connection: close\r\n, 390, MSG_PEEK, NULL, NULL) = 19 read(5, Connection: close\r\n, 19)= 19 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {900, 0})= 1 (in [5], left {900, 0}) recvfrom(5, \r\n, 371, MSG_PEEK, NULL, NULL) = 2 read(5, \r\n, 2) = 2 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {0, 1}) = 0 (Timeout) select(6, NULL, [5], NULL, {900, 0})= 1 (out [5], left {900, 0}) write(5, GET /FOUND-8154 HTTP/1.1\r\nUser-A..., 124) = 124 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {900, 0})= 1 (in [5], left {900, 0}) recvfrom(5, head\ntitleError response/ti..., 511, MSG_PEEK, NULL, NULL) = 190 stat(FOUND-8154, 0x7fffcc530d60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(FOUND-8154, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 7 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {130079, 24215187}) = 0 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {900, 0})= 1 (in [5], left {900, 0}) read(5, head\ntitleError response/ti..., 8192) = 190 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {130079, 24258187}) = 0 fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2b0004bbc000 write(7, head\ntitleError response/ti..., 190) = 190 write(4, \n 0K..., 777) = 777 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {900, 0})= 1 (in [5], left {900, 0}) read(5, 0x1becc8f0, 8192) = -1 ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer) close(5)= 0 So it really looks like a wget bug.

That's /src/connect.c:test_socket_open() in wget source code. This is used by persistent_available_p() in src/http.c, with this comment: Finally, check whether the connection is still open. This is important because most servers implement liberal (short) timeout on persistent connections. Wget can of course always reconnect if the connection doesn't work out, but it's nicer to know in advance. So it deliberately reuses the same connection (so-called persistent connection) if the http server doesn't close it right away. This explains probably why you see this mainly when many threads are in use. I'm not an http expert, so I'm not sure whether

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I can reproduce under Debian testing, but not Debian stable nor Mageia 1. I think this is really a bug in recent Debian/Ubuntu wget. By instrumenting SocketServer, I see that less requests are received than expected (e.g. ~350 instead of 400). It seems wget is trying to send further requests on the same client socket, even though the server responded with a HTTP/1.0 status line and without a connection: keep-alive header, indicating it doesn't want keep-alive. Even explicitly sending a connection: close header doesn't seem to change wget's behaviour. If you pass --no-keep-alive to wget, though, it solves the issue. Running Wireshark would probably help confirm this. -- nosy: +neologix, pitrou ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue15991 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Mikhail Afanasyev: When using BaseHTTPServer with ThreadingMixIn, sometimes the wrong data is served. The attached script requests normal URL and URLs which are not found in multiple threads using wget (which only saves pages if it gets 200 OK status). Every once in a while responses are incorrect. - sometimes normal URL gets a '404 not found' content with '200 OK' status. - sometimes, a '404 not found' page gets '200 OK' status code The problems become much, much less frequent if ThreadingMixIn is removed.
