[issue37843] CGIHTTPRequestHandler does not take args.directory in constructor

[Richard Jayne]

New submission from Richard Jayne <rjayne at msn.com>:

In Lib/http/server.py

    if args.cgi:
        handler_class = CGIHTTPRequestHandler
    else:
        handler_class = partial(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler,
                                directory=args.directory)

Notice that CGIHTTPRequestHandler does not accept directory=args.directory, and so the option does not work with the --cgi option.
