1"""Generic socket server classes.
2
3This module tries to capture the various aspects of defining a server:
4
5For socket-based servers:
6
7- address family:
8 - AF_INET{,6}: IP (Internet Protocol) sockets (default)
9 - AF_UNIX: Unix domain sockets
10 - others, e.g. AF_DECNET are conceivable (see <socket.h>
11- socket type:
12 - SOCK_STREAM (reliable stream, e.g. TCP)
13 - SOCK_DGRAM (datagrams, e.g. UDP)
14
15For request-based servers (including socket-based):
16
17- client address verification before further looking at the request
18 (This is actually a hook for any processing that needs to look
19 at the request before anything else, e.g. logging)
20- how to handle multiple requests:
21 - synchronous (one request is handled at a time)
22 - forking (each request is handled by a new process)
23 - threading (each request is handled by a new thread)
24
25The classes in this module favor the server type that is simplest to
26write: a synchronous TCP/IP server. This is bad class design, but
27save some typing. (There's also the issue that a deep class hierarchy
28slows down method lookups.)
29
30There are five classes in an inheritance diagram, four of which represent
31synchronous servers of four types:
32
33 +------------+
34 | BaseServer |
35 +------------+
36 |
37 v
38 +-----------+ +------------------+
39 | TCPServer |------->| UnixStreamServer |
40 +-----------+ +------------------+
41 |
42 v
43 +-----------+ +--------------------+
44 | UDPServer |------->| UnixDatagramServer |
45 +-----------+ +--------------------+
46
47Note that UnixDatagramServer derives from UDPServer, not from
48UnixStreamServer -- the only difference between an IP and a Unix
49stream server is the address family, which is simply repeated in both
50unix server classes.
51
52Forking and threading versions of each type of server can be created
53using the ForkingServer and ThreadingServer mix-in classes. For
54instance, a threading UDP server class is created as follows:
55
56 class ThreadingUDPServer(ThreadingMixIn, UDPServer): pass
57
58The Mix-in class must come first, since it overrides a method defined
59in UDPServer! Setting the various member variables also changes
60the behavior of the underlying server mechanism.
61
62To implement a service, you must derive a class from
63BaseRequestHandler and redefine its handle() method. You can then run
64various versions of the service by combining one of the server classes
65with your request handler class.
66
67The request handler class must be different for datagram or stream
68services. This can be hidden by using the request handler
69subclasses StreamRequestHandler or DatagramRequestHandler.
70
71Of course, you still have to use your head!
72
73For instance, it makes no sense to use a forking server if the service
74contains state in memory that can be modified by requests (since the
75modifications in the child process would never reach the initial state
76kept in the parent process and passed to each child). In this case,
77you can use a threading server, but you will probably have to use
78locks to avoid two requests that come in nearly simultaneous to apply
79conflicting changes to the server state.
80
81On the other hand, if you are building e.g. an HTTP server, where all
82data is stored externally (e.g. in the file system), a synchronous
83class will essentially render the service "deaf" while one request is
84being handled -- which may be for a very long time if a client is slow
85to reqd all the data it has requested. Here a threading or forking
86server is appropriate.
87
88In some cases, it may be appropriate to process part of a request
89synchronously, but to finish processing in a forked child depending on
90the request data. This can be implemented by using a synchronous
91server and doing an explicit fork in the request handler class
92handle() method.
93
94Another approach to handling multiple simultaneous requests in an
95environment that supports neither threads nor fork (or where these are
96too expensive or inappropriate for the service) is to maintain an
97explicit table of partially finished requests and to use select() to
98decide which request to work on next (or whether to handle a new
99incoming request). This is particularly important for stream services
100where each client can potentially be connected for a long time (if
101threads or subprocesses cannot be used).
102
103Future work:
104- Standard classes for Sun RPC (which uses either UDP or TCP)
105- Standard mix-in classes to implement various authentication
106 and encryption schemes
107- Standard framework for select-based multiplexing
108
109XXX Open problems:
110- What to do with out-of-band data?
111
112BaseServer:
113- split generic "request" functionality out into BaseServer class.

116 example: read entries from a SQL database (requires overriding
117 get_request() to return a table entry from the database).
118 entry is processed by a RequestHandlerClass.
