Can't speak for WebKit/ASOC, but creating a basic HTTP server in Python is really simple:
#!/usr/bin/python
from BaseHTTPServer import *
from urlparse import *
class MyRequestHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def _encode(self, s):
return s.replace('&', '&').replace('<', '<').replace('>', '>').replace('"', '"')
def do_GET(self):
# process the request
request = urlparse(self.path)
path = request.path
query = parse_qs(request.query, True)
# build the response
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-Type', 'text/html')
self.end_headers()
html = '<p>%s</p>\n<p>%s</p>' % (self._encode(path), self._encode(str(query)))
self.wfile.write(html)
HTTPServer(('', 8080), MyRequestHandler).serve_forever()
Save it to file, make it executable, and run it. This example just extracts the path and query from a URL and prints them out, e.g.:
http://localhost:8080/foo?bar=baz
gives:
<p>/foo</p>
<p>{'bar': ['baz']}</p>
which should illustrate the point. POSTs are slightly different, but no harder.
No authentication or anything fancy - I would turn to a proper web framework for that - but for a modest distributed application running on an internal network that needs to pass job tickets between processes and display a basic admin UI, it's quite adequate.
