13
14- send server version
15- log requests even later (to capture byte count)

36# Here's a quote from the NCSA httpd docs about log file format.
37#
38# | The logfile format is as follows. Each line consists of:
39# |
40# | host rfc931 authuser [DD/Mon/YYYY:hh:mm:ss] "request" ddd bbbb
41# |
42# | host: Either the DNS name or the IP number of the remote client
43# | rfc931: Any information returned by identd for this person,
44# | - otherwise.
45# | authuser: If user sent a userid for authentication, the user name,
46# | - otherwise.
47# | DD: Day
48# | Mon: Month (calendar name)
49# | YYYY: Year
50# | hh: hour (24-hour format, the machine's timezone)
51# | mm: minutes
52# | ss: seconds
53# | request: The first line of the HTTP request as sent by the client.
54# | ddd: the status code returned by the server, - if not available.
55# | bbbb: the total number of bytes sent,
56# | *not including the HTTP/1.0 header*, - if not available
57# |
58# | You can determine the name of the file accessed through request.
59#
60# (Actually, the latter is only true if you know the server configuration
61# at the time the request was made!)

110
111 The following explanation of HTTP serves to guide you through the
112 code as well as to expose any misunderstandings I may have about
113 HTTP (so you don't need to read the code to figure out I'm wrong
114 :-).
115
116 HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is an extensible protocol on
117 top of a reliable stream transport (e.g. TCP/IP). The protocol
118 recognizes three parts to a request:
119
120 1. One line identifying the request type and path
121 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
122 3. An optional data part
123
124 The headers and data are separated by a blank line.
125
126 The first line of the request has the form
127
128 <command> <path> <version>
129
130 where <command> is a (case-sensitive) keyword such as GET or POST,
131 <path> is a string containing path information for the request,
132 and <version> should be the string "HTTP/1.0". <path> is encoded
133 using the URL encoding scheme (using %xx to signify the ASCII
134 character with hex code xx).
135
136 The protocol is vague about whether lines are separated by LF
137 characters or by CRLF pairs -- for compatibility with the widest
138 range of clients, both should be accepted. Similarly, whitespace
139 in the request line should be treated sensibly (allowing multiple
140 spaces between components and allowing trailing whitespace).
141
142 Similarly, for output, lines ought to be separated by CRLF pairs
143 but most clients grok LF characters just fine.
144
145 If the first line of the request has the form
146
147 <command> <path>
148
149 (i.e. <version> is left out) then this is assumed to be an HTTP
150 0.9 request; this form has no optional headers and data part and
151 the reply consists of just the data.
152
153 The reply form of the HTTP 1.0 protocol again has three parts:
154
155 1. One line giving the response code
156 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
157 3. The data
158
159 Again, the headers and data are separated by a blank line.
160
161 The response code line has the form
162
163 <version> <responsecode> <responsestring>
164
165 where <version> is the protocol version (always "HTTP/1.0"),
166 <responsecode> is a 3-digit response code indicating success or
167 failure of the request, and <responsestring> is an optional
168 human-readable string explaining what the response code means.
169
170 This server parses the request and the headers, and then calls a
171 function specific to the request type (<command>). Specifically,
172 a request SPAM will be handled by a method handle_SPAM(). If no
173 such method exists the server sends an error response to the
174 client. If it exists, it is called with no arguments:
175
176 do_SPAM()
177
178 Note that the request name is case sensitive (i.e. SPAM and spam
179 are different requests).
180
181 The various request details are stored in instance variables:
182
183 - client_address is the client IP address in the form (host,
184 port);
185
186 - command, path and version are the broken-down request line;
187
188 - headers is an instance of mimetools.Message (or a derived
189 class) containing the header information;
190
191 - rfile is a file object open for reading positioned at the
192 start of the optional input data part;
193
194 - wfile is a file object open for writing.
195
196 IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADHERE TO THE PROTOCOL FOR WRITING!
197
198 The first thing to be written must be the response line. Then
199 follow 0 or more header lines, then a blank line, and then the
200 actual data (if any). The meaning of the header lines depends on
201 the command executed by the server; in most cases, when data is
202 returned, there should be at least one header line of the form
203
204 Content-type: <type>/<subtype>
205
206 where <type> and <subtype> should be registered MIME types,
207 e.g. "text/html" or "text/plain".
