[issue10486] http.server doesn't set all CGI environment variables

[Glenn Linderman]

Glenn Linderman <v+python at g.nevcal.com> added the comment:

Took a little more time to do a little more analysis on this one.  Compared a sample query via Apache on Linux vs http.server, then looked up the CGI RFC for more info:

DOCUMENT_ROOT: ...
GATEWAY_INTERFACE: CGI/1.1
HTTP_ACCEPT: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip,deflate
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: en-us,en;q=0.5
HTTP_CONNECTION: keep-alive
HTTP_COOKIE: ...
HTTP_HOST: ...
HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE: 115
HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10
PATH: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
PATH_INFO: ...
PATH_TRANSLATED: ...
QUERY_STRING: 
REMOTE_ADDR: 173.75.100.22
REMOTE_PORT: 50478
REQUEST_METHOD: GET
REQUEST_URI: ...
SCRIPT_FILENAME: ...
SCRIPT_NAME: ...
SERVER_ADDR: ...
SERVER_ADMIN: ...
SERVER_NAME: ...
SERVER_PORT: ...
SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.1
SERVER_SIGNATURE: <address>Apache Server at rkivs.com Port 80</address>

SERVER_SOFTWARE: Apache
UNIQUE_ID: TLEs8krc24oAABQ1TIUAAAPN

Above from Apache, below from http.server

GATEWAY_INTERFACE: CGI/1.1
HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12
PATH_INFO: ...
PATH_TRANSLATED: ...
QUERY_STRING: ...
REMOTE_ADDR: 127.0.0.1
REQUEST_METHOD: GET
SCRIPT_NAME: ...
SERVER_NAME: ...
SERVER_PORT: ...
SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.0
SERVER_SOFTWARE: SimpleHTTP/0.6 Python/3.2a4

Analysis of missing variables between Apache and http.server:

DOCUMENT_ROOT
HTTP_ACCEPT
HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET
HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
HTTP_CONNECTION
HTTP_COOKIE
HTTP_HOST
HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE
HTTP_PORT
PATH
REQUEST_URI
SCRIPT_FILENAME
SERVER_ADDR
SERVER_ADMIN


Additional variables mentioned in RFC 3875, not used for my test requests:

AUTH_TYPE
CONTENT_LENGTH
CONTENT_TYPE
REMOTE_IDENT
REMOTE_USER
