How does twisted implement http? wrt the Basic/Simple/CGIHTTPServer modules in the python disrto. I remember there was some docs about this but I cannot remember where! It's not in the Twisted distro (that I could find anyway).
Well, it implements HTTP in twisted.protocols.http, rather than using the synchronous implementations in the python standard library. But, for Twisted at least, the protocol is still a considerable step short of being a server that knows how to do more than just parse requests. So while the protocol is implemented in twisted.protocols.http, the actual logic that knows how to read files, run CGIs, and whatnot, resides in twisted.web. Hopefully that gives you some idea of where to look to find what you need. Unfortunately, I don't understand the Twisted Web stuff in any further detail, and I also would quite like some nice lengthy docs to explain it to me in small digestible pieces :) -Andrew.
