I'm happy to announce the first release of twisted.web2 today. This is a rewrite/refactor of the twisted.web HTTP server and framework, providing a nicer API (some parts inspired by the resource API that Nevow introduced on top of twisted.web) and many internal improvements, especially in the area of HTTP conformance. Some highlights: - Fully asynchronous twisted server. - Can run as a HTTP/HTTPS server, or behind an apache mod_proxy, or serve requests via SCGI, or even just plain CGI. - Supports SCGI clients, CGI scripts, WSGI applications. No new HTTP client/proxy yet, it's still on the TODO list. - Also supports most twisted.web resources through a compatibility layer. - Implements HTTP 1.1, including keep-alive, chunking, and pipelining. - Has premade, correct, header parsers and generators for most of the headers. - Supports streaming data input and output, has a nonblocking multipart/form-data parser. - Automatic support for If-[Un]Modified-Since, If-[None-]Match and Range. You can find downloads and documentation here: http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/web2/ You'll need at least Twisted 2.0.1 as well: http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/ This is still a preliminary release -- the API is not guaranteed to be stable to the next release.
