Reading a client's header from Python CGI script?

Question

I\'m writing a very simple web service, written in Python and run as CGI on an Apache server.

According to Python docs (somewhere... I forgot where), I can use sys.stdin

Answer 1

These are given to the CGI script through the environment:

import os
user_agent = os.environ["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]
ip = os.environ["REMOTE_ADDR"]
