[albatross-users] [patch] httpdapp

[Matt Goodall]

Attached is my latest patch (diff to 1.10) to the httpdapp module. 

The main reason for this change is that I got bored with the response
time of the server for pages with lots of or big graphics so I
implemented support for conditional GET. It seems to make enough of a
difference to warrant the small amount of extra code.

Please note that this is still really only a toy server but it's great
for development and possibly useful as a server for embedded devices.

Changes are as follows:

Since last patch:

    * Fixed silly mistake on static_resources default argument to
      HTTPServer.__init__.
    * Added conditional GET support when sending static_resources
      ('Last-Modified', 'If-Modified-Since' headers).
    * Improved static resource error handling - you actually get a
      404 now ;-)

Since 1.10:

    * Support for serving static resources directly from the filesystem.
    * Cleaned up and simplified the request parsing to make use of
      cgiapp.RequestFields (at last!).
    * Supports file upload (looks ok after initial tests).

Cheers, Matt
