AsyncoreHTTPServer
This is a small side project I actually did for work. I wrapped asyncore to be an HTTP server and request handler. It can be used in much the same way as SimpleHTTPServer though the API is a bit different. It is still a work in progress, but is running, in its current form, in a production environment. It is for the most part HTTP/1.1 compliant and can be used as a RESTful server. The latest version has a WSGI handler.
AsyncoreHTTPServer Module by itself.
The two packages below include the docs in HTML format.
Testing
The following file can be used to run tests on the AsyncoreHTTPServer module.
Note:
- The mean was taken on six runs for each test giving the results listed below.
- The number of requests below was determined below the point where bad requests were received by the server.
The test results below were done using HEAD requests on an arbitrary, but consistent URI.
