<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-CGIHTTPServer" title="CGIHTTPServer: This module provides a request handler for HTTP servers which can run CGI scripts."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">CGIHTTPServer</span></tt></a> module defines the following class:</p>
<dl class="class">
<dt id="CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler">
<em class="property">class </em><tt class="descclassname">CGIHTTPServer.</tt><tt class="descname">CGIHTTPRequestHandler</tt><big>(</big><em>request</em>, <em>client_address</em>, <em>server</em><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>This class is used to serve either files or output of CGI scripts from  the
current directory and below. Note that mapping HTTP hierarchic structure to
local directory structure is exactly as in
<a class="reference internal" href="simplehttpserver.html#SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler" title="SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler</span></tt></a>.</p>
<p>The class will however, run the CGI script, instead of serving it as a file, if
it guesses it to be a CGI script. Only directory-based CGI are used &#8212; the
other common server configuration is to treat special extensions as denoting CGI
scripts.</p>
<p>The <tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">do_GET()</span></tt> and <tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">do_HEAD()</span></tt> functions are modified to run CGI scripts
and serve the output, instead of serving files, if the request leads to
somewhere below the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cgi_directories</span></tt> path.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler" title="CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">CGIHTTPRequestHandler</span></tt></a> defines the following data member:</p>
<dl class="attribute">
<dt id="CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler.cgi_directories">
<tt class="descname">cgi_directories</tt><a class="headerlink" href="#CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler.cgi_directories" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>This defaults to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">['/cgi-bin',</span> <span class="pre">'/htbin']</span></tt> and describes directories to
treat as containing CGI scripts.</p>
</dd></dl>

<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler" title="CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">CGIHTTPRequestHandler</span></tt></a> defines the following methods:</p>
<dl class="method">
<dt id="CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler.do_POST">
<tt class="descname">do_POST</tt><big>(</big><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler.do_POST" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>This method serves the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'POST'</span></tt> request type, only allowed for CGI
scripts.  Error 501, &#8220;Can only POST to CGI scripts&#8221;, is output when trying
to POST to a non-CGI url.</p>
</dd></dl>

</dd></dl>

<p>Note that CGI scripts will be run with UID of user nobody, for security reasons.
Problems with the CGI script will be translated to error 403.</p>
<p>For example usage, see the implementation of the <a class="reference internal" href="test.html#module-test" title="test: Regression tests package containing the testing suite for Python."><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">test()</span></tt></a> function.</p>
