-\section{\module{CGIHTTPServer} ---
- CGI-capable HTTP request handler}

-\modulesynopsis{This module provides a request handler for HTTP servers
- which can run CGI scripts.}
-
-
-The \module{CGIHTTPServer} module defines a request-handler class,
-interface compatible with
-\class{BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler} and inherits behavior
-from \class{SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler} but can also
-run CGI scripts.
-
-\note{This module can run CGI scripts on \UNIX{} and Windows systems;
-on Mac OS it will only be able to run Python scripts within the same
-process as itself.}
-
-\note{CGI scripts run by the \class{CGIHTTPRequestHandler} class cannot execute
-redirects (HTTP code 302), because code 200 (script output follows)
-is sent prior to execution of the CGI script. This pre-empts the status
-code.}
-
-The \module{CGIHTTPServer} module defines the following class:
-
-\begin{classdesc}{CGIHTTPRequestHandler}{request, client_address, server}
-This class is used to serve either files or output of CGI scripts from
-the current directory and below. Note that mapping HTTP hierarchic
-structure to local directory structure is exactly as in
-\class{SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler}.
-
-The class will however, run the CGI script, instead of serving it as a
-file, if it guesses it to be a CGI script. Only directory-based CGI
-are used --- the other common server configuration is to treat special
-extensions as denoting CGI scripts.
-
-The \function{do_GET()} and \function{do_HEAD()} functions are
-modified to run CGI scripts and serve the output, instead of serving
-files, if the request leads to somewhere below the
-\code{cgi_directories} path.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-The \class{CGIHTTPRequestHandler} defines the following data member:
-
-\begin{memberdesc}{cgi_directories}
-This defaults to \code{['/cgi-bin', '/htbin']} and describes
-directories to treat as containing CGI scripts.
-\end{memberdesc}
-
-The \class{CGIHTTPRequestHandler} defines the following methods:
-
-\begin{methoddesc}{do_POST}{}
-This method serves the \code{'POST'} request type, only allowed for
-CGI scripts. Error 501, "Can only POST to CGI scripts", is output
-when trying to POST to a non-CGI url.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-Note that CGI scripts will be run with UID of user nobody, for security
-reasons. Problems with the CGI script will be translated to error 403.
-
-For example usage, see the implementation of the \function{test()}
-function.
