User's Guide:i2p.BaseHTTPServer

Emulates Python BaseHTTPServer module using I2P sockets.

Overview

The Python module is described at http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-BaseHTTPServer.html

To get a server going, use:

>>> from i2p import BaseHTTPServer
>>> BaseHTTPServer.test().

Consult the documentation for function test() to change basic server settings, such as the session name.

A fully customizable example:

>>> from i2p import BaseHTTPServer
>>> session = "mytestxxx.i2p"      # SAM session name
>>> class MyServer(BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer): pass
>>> class MyRequestHandler(BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler): pass
>>> httpd = MyServer(session, MyRequestHandler)
>>> httpd.socket.dest
(Base64 Destination of server)
>>> httpd.serve_forever()

Classes

class BaseHTTPRequestHandler

Same interface as Python class BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.

class HTTPServer

Functions

test(HandlerClass=BaseHTTPRequestHandler, ServerClass=HTTPServer, protocol='HTTP/1.0', session='mytestxxx.i2p')

This runs an I2P TCP server under SAM session 'session'. If a single command 
line argument is given, the argument is used instead as the SAM session name.
