[mod_python] Simple Issue, Baffling

Thu Jan 26 17:03:31 EST 2006


It works ok for me on apache/linux, but my config is a little different


httpd.conf


        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/xcss/(.*)$
        RewriteRule ^/xcss/(.*)$ /css.py?r=$1


            SetHandler mod_python
            PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
            PythonDebug Off
            PythonLogHandler log::logger

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/xcss/css.css" type="text/css">
</head>

<body>
<h1>FOO</h1>
</body>

</html>


http://pyblog.com/xcss/foo.css

body { background-color: yellow; }


http://pyblog.com/css.py


from mod_python import apache
import cgi

def index(req):

    req.content_type = "text/css"
    req.send_http_header()
    req.did_success=True
    content="body { background-color: yellow; }"
    return (content)
