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

+ """HTTP request handler base class.
+
+ The following explanation of HTTP serves to guide you through the
+ code as well as to expose any misunderstandings I may have about
+ HTTP (so you don't need to read the code to figure out I'm wrong
+ :-).
+
+ HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is an extensible protocol on
+ top of a reliable stream transport (e.g. TCP/IP). The protocol
+ recognizes three parts to a request:
+
+ 1. One line identifying the request type and path
+ 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
+ 3. An optional data part
+
+ The headers and data are separated by a blank line.
+
+ The first line of the request has the form
+
+ <command> <path> <version>
+
+ where <command> is a (case-sensitive) keyword such as GET or POST,
+ <path> is a string containing path information for the request,
+ and <version> should be the string "HTTP/1.0". <path> is encoded
+ using the URL encoding scheme (using %xx to signify the ASCII
+ character with hex code xx).
+
+ The protocol is vague about whether lines are separated by LF
+ characters or by CRLF pairs -- for compatibility with the widest
+ range of clients, both should be accepted. Similarly, whitespace
+ in the request line should be treated sensibly (allowing multiple
+ spaces between components and allowing trailing whitespace).
+
+ Similarly, for output, lines ought to be separated by CRLF pairs
+ but most clients grok LF characters just fine.
+
+ If the first line of the request has the form
+
+ <command> <path>
+
+ (i.e. <version> is left out) then this is assumed to be an HTTP
+ 0.9 request; this form has no optional headers and data part and
+ the reply consists of just the data.
+
+ The reply form of the HTTP 1.0 protocol again has three parts:
+
+ 1. One line giving the response code
+ 2. An optional set of RFC-822-style headers
+ 3. The data
+
+ Again, the headers and data are separated by a blank line.
+
+ The response code line has the form
+
+ <version> <responsecode> <responsestring>
+
+ where <version> is the protocol version (always "HTTP/1.0"),
+ <responsecode> is a 3-digit response code indicating success or
+ failure of the request, and <responsestring> is an optional
+ human-readable string explaining what the response code means.
+
+ This server parses the request and the headers, and then calls a
+ function specific to the request type (<command>). Specifically,
+ a request SPAM will be handled by a method handle_SPAM(). If no
+ such method exists the server sends an error response to the
+ client. If it exists, it is called with no arguments:
+
+ do_SPAM()
+
+ Note that the request name is case sensitive (i.e. SPAM and spam
+ are different requests).
+
+ The various request details are stored in instance variables:
+
+ - client_address is the client IP address in the form (host,
+ port);
+
+ - command, path and version are the broken-down request line;
+
+ - headers is an instance of mimetools.Message (or a derived
+ class) containing the header information;
+
+ - rfile is a file object open for reading positioned at the
+ start of the optional input data part;
+
+ - wfile is a file object open for writing.
+
+ IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADHERE TO THE PROTOCOL FOR WRITING!
+
+ The first thing to be written must be the response line. Then
+ follow 0 or more header lines, then a blank line, and then the
+ actual data (if any). The meaning of the header lines depends on
+ the command executed by the server; in most cases, when data is
+ returned, there should be at least one header line of the form
+
+ Content-type: <type>/<subtype>
+
+ where <type> and <subtype> should be registered MIME types,
+ e.g. "text/html" or "text/plain".
