当我们实现一个Web应用（application）的时候，通常不会考虑如何接受HTTP请求、解析HTTP请求、发送HTTP响应等等，我们只关心处理逻辑，而不用去关心HTTP规范的细节。
之所以有这层透明，是因为Web Server和Web Application之间有一套规范的接口，这套接口帮我们隐藏了很多HTTP相关的细节。这套接口规范就是WSGI（Web Server Gateway Interface）。
Web Server和Web Application都实现WSGI规范，然后各司其职：
- Web Server：接收来自客户端的HTTP，然后将请求交给Web Application
- Web Application：根据请求来调用相应的处理逻辑，生成response；通过Web Server把response发送给客户端
下面就一步步看下WSGI规范的更多内容。
Application Interface
上面了解到，Web Server和Web Application端都要遵守WSGI规范。对于实现WSGI的Web Application端，必须是一个callable的对象（类，函数，方法等等，实现__call__魔术方法的对象），这个callable对象需要满足下面两个条件：
-
包含两个参数
- 一个dict对象，Web Server会将HTTP请求相关的信息添加到这个字典中，供Web application使用
- 一个callback函数，Web application通过这个函数将HTTP status code和headers发送给Web Server
- 以字符串的形式返回response，并且包含在可迭代的list中
下面就是一个实现Application Interface的一个application函数：
# This is an application object. It could have any name, except when using mod_wsgi where it must be "application" # The application object accepts two arguments # This is an application object. It could have any name, except when using mod_wsgi where it must be "application" # The application object accepts two arguments def application( # environ points to a dictionary containing CGI like environment variables # which is filled by the server for each received request from the client environ, # start_response is a callback function supplied by the server # which will be used to send the HTTP status and headers to the server start_response): # build the response body possibly using the environ dictionary response_body = 'The request method was %s' % environ['REQUEST_METHOD'] # HTTP response code and message status = '200 OK' # These are HTTP headers expected by the client. # They must be wrapped as a list of tupled pairs: # [(Header name, Header value)]. response_headers = [('Content-Type', 'text/plain'), ('Content-Length', str(len(response_body)))] # Send them to the server using the supplied function start_response(status, response_headers) # Return the response body. # Notice it is wrapped in a list although it could be any iterable. return [response_body]
看看Environment dict
在Python中就有一个WSGI server，我们可以直接使用。
在下面的这个例子中，WSGI server监听了”localhost:8080″，并绑定了一个支持WSGI规范的application对象；application对象就会处理来自8080端口，并将”Environment dict”的内容生产response传给WSGI server。
# WSGI server in Python from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server def application(environ, start_response): # Sorting and stringifying the environment key, value pairs response_body = ['%s: %s' % (key, value) for key, value in sorted(environ.items())] response_body = '\n'.join(response_body) status = '200 OK' response_headers = [('Content-Type', 'text/plain'), ('Content-Length', str(len(response_body)))] start_response(status, response_headers) return [response_body] # Instantiate the WSGI server. # It will receive the request, pass it to the application # and send the application's response to the client httpd = make_server( 'localhost', # The host name. 8080, # A port number where to wait for the request. application # Our application object name, in this case a function. ) # Wait for a single request, serve it and quit. httpd.handle_request() # Keep the server always alive with serve_forever() # httpd.serve_forever()
注意，在application对象返回的时候，我们使用的是”return [response_body]”，当我们改成”return response_body”之后，一样可以工作，但是效率会很低，因为返回的时候会去迭代response字符串中的每一个字符。所以，当处理response字符串的时候，最好是将它包在一个可迭代对象中，例如list。
通过浏览器访问后，就可以得到”Environment dict”的内容，这些都是WSGI server提供的信息，包括了HTTP请求的相关信息。
处理GET请求
当我们执行一个如下的GET请求：
http://127.0.0.1:8080/?name=wilber&hobbies=software
QUERY_STRING（URL中”?”之后的部分）和REQUEST_METHOD这些信息会包含在”Environment dict”，从application中可以很方便的得到这些信息。
在application中，可以使用cgi模块中的parse_qs函数得到一个由QUERY_STRING生成的字典，方便我们取出请求的变量信息。
同时，为了避免客户端的输入可能存在的脚本注入，可以使用cgi模块中的escape函数对输入进行一次过滤。
下面直接看例子：
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server from cgi import parse_qs, escape html = """ <html> <body> <form method="get" action="/"> <p> Name: <input type="text" name="name"> </p> <p> Hobbies: <input name="hobbies" type="checkbox" value="running"> running <input name="hobbies" type="checkbox" value="swimming"> swimming <input name="hobbies" type="checkbox" value="reading"> reading </p> <p> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </p> </form> <p> Name: %s<br> Hobbies: %s </p> </body> </html>""" def application(environ, start_response): print "QUERY_STRING: %s" %environ['QUERY_STRING'] print "REQUEST_METHOD: %s" %environ['REQUEST_METHOD'] # Returns a dictionary containing lists as values. d = parse_qs(environ['QUERY_STRING']) # In this idiom you must issue a list containing a default value. name = d.get('name', [''])[0] # Returns the first name value. hobbies = d.get('hobbies', []) # Returns a list of hobbies. # Always escape user input to avoid script injection name = escape(name) hobbies = [escape(hobby) for hobby in hobbies] response_body = html % (name or 'Empty', ', '.join(hobbies or ['No Hobbies'])) status = '200 OK' # Now content type is text/html response_headers = [('Content-Type', 'text/html'), ('Content-Length', str(len(response_body)))] start_response(status, response_headers) return [response_body] httpd = make_server('localhost', 8080, application) # Now it is serve_forever() in instead of handle_request(). # In Windows you can kill it in the Task Manager (python.exe). # In Linux a Ctrl-C will do it. httpd.serve_forever()
从结果中可以看到，请求URL中的QUERY_STRING被WSGI server填入了”Environment dict”中。
处理POST请求
当执行一个POST请求的时候，query string是不会出现在URL里面的，而是会包含在request body中。
对于WSGI server，request body存放在”Environment dict”中（environ[‘wsgi.input’]），environ[‘wsgi.input’]对应的是一个file object，可以通过读取文件的方式读取request body。同时，environ.get(‘CONTENT_LENGTH’, 0)中存放着request body的size，我们可以根据这个值来读取适当长度的request body。
看下面的例子：
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server from cgi import parse_qs, escape html = """ <html> <body> <form method="post" action="parsing_post.wsgi"> <p> Name: <input type="text" name="name"> </p> <p> Hobbies: <input name="hobbies" type="checkbox" value="running"> running <input name="hobbies" type="checkbox" value="swimming"> swimming <input name="hobbies" type="checkbox" value="reading"> reading </p> <p> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </p> </form> <p> Name: %s<br> Hobbies: %s </p> </body> </html> """ def application(environ, start_response): # the environment variable CONTENT_LENGTH may be empty or missing try: request_body_size = int(environ.get('CONTENT_LENGTH', 0)) except (ValueError): request_body_size = 0 # When the method is POST the query string will be sent # in the HTTP request body which is passed by the WSGI server # in the file like wsgi.input environment variable. request_body = environ['wsgi.input'].read(request_body_size) d = parse_qs(request_body) print "wsgi.input %s" %environ['wsgi.input'] print "request_body_size %s" %environ.get('CONTENT_LENGTH', 0) print "request_body %s" %request_body name = d.get('name', [''])[0] # Returns the first name value. hobbies = d.get('hobbies', []) # Returns a list of hobbies. # Always escape user input to avoid script injection name = escape(name) hobbies = [escape(hobby) for hobby in hobbies] response_body = html % (name or 'Empty', ', '.join(hobbies or ['No Hobbies'])) status = '200 OK' response_headers = [('Content-Type', 'text/html'), ('Content-Length', str(len(response_body)))] start_response(status, response_headers) return [response_body] httpd = make_server('localhost', 8080, application) httpd.serve_forever()
通过结果，我们可以看到environ字典中对应的”wsgi.input”和”CONTENT_LENGTH”，以及读取出来的”request body”。
