I am trying to run a few Python CGI scripts using CGIHTTPServer. This works fine, but now I'd like to run using SSL on the Web listener.
I started with the solution at Activestate code recipes and changed SimpleHTTPRequestHandler to CGIHTTPRequestHandler. This works fine serving static files, including the cgi scripts (cgi-bin is, for now, a link to ".") but for cgi scripts Firefox shows
"SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length"
Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long.
Web searches indicate this is likely a server issue, not browser, which seems logical to me. Also, I've tried all the suggested browser settings. I've tried a variety of server settings also, but no joy.
- Platform is RHEL 2.6.18
- Python is 2.4.3 - please don't suggest using "
import ssl" as it isn't available - Self signed certificate, accepted in browser (static files work)
code:
import socket, sys
import SocketServer
import BaseHTTPServer
import CGIHTTPServer
from OpenSSL import SSL
class SecureHTTPServer(BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer):
def __init__(self, server_address, HandlerClass):
self.allow_reuse_address = True
SockeServer.BaseServer.__init__(self, server_address, HandlerClass)
ctx = SSL.Context(SSL.SSLv23_METHOD)
ctx.use_privatekey_file ("path/key.pem")
ctx.use_certificate_file("path/cert.pem")
self.socket = SSL.Connection(ctx, socket.socket(self.address_family, self.socket_type))
self.server_bind()
self.server_activate()
class SecureHTTPRequestHandler(CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler):
def setup(self):
self.cgi_directories= ['cgi-bin']
self.connection = self.request
self.rfile = socket._fileobject(self.request, "rb", self.rbufsize)
self.wfile = socket._fileobject(self.request, "wb", self.wbufsize)
def test(HandlerClass = SecureHTTPRequestHandler, ServerClass = SecureHTTPServer):
httpd = ServerClass(('0.0.0.0',4443), HandlerClass)
sa = httpd.socket.getsockname()
print "Serving HTTPS on", sa[0], "port", sa[1], "..."
httpd.serve_forever()
if __name__ == '__main__':
test()
How may I get this working for a quick and easy web interface in Python 2.4?
