[New-bugs-announce] [issue13893] Make CGIHTTPServer capable of redirects (and status other than 200)

[Giovanni Funchal]

New submission from Giovanni Funchal <gafunchal at gmail.com>:

GIHTTPServer.py is a very handy module for quickly setting up a full HTTP server with CGI support. However, I noticed that it doesn't support responses other than "200 OK". So, for instance if the page wants to do a redirect (response 303), it just isn't supported. It's documented as so, but still I think this is a major drawback that can be easily overcome.

I have attached a patch against 2.7. I'd be happy to port it to dev branch if help provided as I'm new to Python. Reviews/suggestions more than welcome.
