[issue1684] CGIHTTPServer does not chdir prior to executing the CGI script

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

In the absence of the local docs claiming that cgiHTTPServer changes directory, this is a feature request that could only go into 3.2 or later. If I understand http.server.py, the successor does use subprocess, so G.P.Smith's suggestion in msg87067 might be implemented. However, it is not clear to me from the comments if the idea is accepted in principle or not.
