BaseHTTPServer
You can use this to make a simple HTTP web server.
Official Documentation
[http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.4/lib/module-BaseHTTPServer.html BaseHTTPServer module documentation] - what we use directly

Discussion
I'd ultimately like to see a BaseHttpServer here that can both handle XML-RPC requests (with that request handler,) and normal web requests (with a custom handler.)
Yes- I know and love TwistedPython. But I want to make something that works in a single install. -- LionKimbro DateTime(2004-05-31T01:13:16Z)
I'd also like to add code here showing how to service a POST request.
