# This handler is designed to verify that UAs correctly discard the body of # responses to HTTP HEAD requests. If the response body is written to a # separate TCP packet, then this behavior cannot be verified. This handler uses # the response writer to ensure that the body is transmitted in the same packet # as the headers. In this way, non-conforming UAs will consistently fail the # associated test. def main(request, response): content = request.method response.add_required_headers = False response.writer.write(u'''HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-type: text/plain Content-Length: {} {}'''.format(len(content), content))
