Writing an HTTP server script loaded by XChat

[ProgVal]

Hello,

I have a Python script which handle HTTP requests on port 8067. It works when I run it from the command line, but if I load it from XChat, it doesn't answer the requests
Wireshark shows me FireFox sends headers on this port, but the script doesn't answer.

Here is a port of the code :

Code: Select all

class WebHandler(BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    do_GET():
        print "foo" # Doesn't print anything when the script is loaded by XChat

import threading, BaseHTTPServer
httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('', 8067), XChatWebHandler)
threading.Thread(target=httpd.serve_forever, name="XChat Web Frontend server")


Do you know the cause of the bug ?

Thank you in advance,
ProgVal

Code: Select all

import xchat
...
xchat.prnt("%s %s" % ("foo", "bar"))

xchat.prnt and print both do the same thing, don't them ?

They do.

Other than that, did you just omit Thread.start(), or is it missing? You'll need it for doing anything useful with that thread.

You could also check Wireshark if you receive TCP RST on that port or not. If not, it would probably indicate that the port is open and listening. In that case, at least something should happen.

I forgot it. Thanks.
