Voted up. But a lot of homebrew webservers don't adhere and you'll just have to deal. In this case "God" is W3C, and not every decision they made was good, eg the "Referer" [sic] header. :)
[deleted grumble about writing production HTTP clients in 2009]
- tdavis 17y agoNeither, I was reading through a Twisted ticket and it was mentioned that this server was breaking the new HTTP client (and why). I then confirmed this ridiculousness myself, and posted it. I wrote one in 2008, though. Okay, most of one. But in my defense, no comparable [python] client existed at the time and I needed the functionality (synchronous requests were out of the question; a couple threaded clients were available but not robust or fast enough). As a general programmer rule, I tend to avoid writing code wherever possible :)

- aristus 17y agoFewer than that wasted by redundant CRLFs.
