[PythonCE] baseHTTPServer and CGIHTTPServer

[Oskar Świda]

Hi,

I suppose I encountered similar problem. The point is - as always about
"current directory" which is not recognized by WinCE.
To make this work just change directory explicitly when starting server
(before calling run).
For example:
 import os
 os.chdir("/Program Files/python/httpTest/")

Then http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/response.py should work.

           regards,
               Oskar Świda
