How to stop BaseHTTPServer.serve_forever() in a BaseHTTPRequestHandler subclass?

by

Another way to do it, based on http://docs.python.org/2/library/basehttpserver.html#more-examples, is: instead of serve_forever(), keep serving as long as a condition is met, with the server checking the condition before and after each request. For example:

import CGIHTTPServer
import BaseHTTPServer

KEEP_RUNNING = True

def keep_running():
    return KEEP_RUNNING

class Handler(CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler):
    cgi_directories = ["/cgi-bin"]

httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(("", 8000), Handler)

while keep_running():
    httpd.handle_request()
