<p>The Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) is a standard interface between web
server software and web applications written in Python. Having a standard
interface makes it easy to use an application that supports WSGI with a number
of different web servers.</p>
<p>Only authors of web servers and programming frameworks need to know every detail
and corner case of the WSGI design. You don’t need to understand every detail
of WSGI just to install a WSGI application or to write a web application using
an existing framework.</p>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="#module-wsgiref" title="wsgiref: WSGI Utilities and Reference Implementation."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">wsgiref</span></code></a> is a reference implementation of the WSGI specification that can
be used to add WSGI support to a web server or framework. It provides utilities
for manipulating WSGI environment variables and response headers, base classes
for implementing WSGI servers, a demo HTTP server that serves WSGI applications,
and a validation tool that checks WSGI servers and applications for conformance
to the WSGI specification (<span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="pep reference external" href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333"><strong>PEP 333</strong></a>).</p>
<p>See <a class="reference external" href="https://wsgi.readthedocs.org/">https://wsgi.readthedocs.org/</a> for more information about WSGI, and links to
tutorials and other resources.</p>

<p>This module provides a variety of utility functions for working with WSGI
environments. A WSGI environment is a dictionary containing HTTP request
variables as described in <span class="target" id="index-1"></span><a class="pep reference external" href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333"><strong>PEP 333</strong></a>. All of the functions taking an <em>environ</em>
parameter expect a WSGI-compliant dictionary to be supplied; please see
<span class="target" id="index-2"></span><a class="pep reference external" href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333"><strong>PEP 333</strong></a> for a detailed specification.</p>

checking for a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HTTPS</span></code> environment variable in the <em>environ</em> dictionary. The
return value is a string.</p>
<p>This function is useful when creating a gateway that wraps CGI or a CGI-like
protocol such as FastCGI. Typically, servers providing such protocols will
include a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HTTPS</span></code> variable with a value of “1” “yes”, or “on” when a request
is received via SSL. So, this function returns “https” if such a value is
found, and “http” otherwise.</p>

<dd><p>Shift a single name from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PATH_INFO</span></code> to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SCRIPT_NAME</span></code> and return the name.
The <em>environ</em> dictionary is <em>modified</em> in-place; use a copy if you need to keep
the original <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PATH_INFO</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SCRIPT_NAME</span></code> intact.</p>
<p>If there are no remaining path segments in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PATH_INFO</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code> is returned.</p>
<p>Typically, this routine is used to process each portion of a request URI path,
for example to treat the path as a series of dictionary keys. This routine
modifies the passed-in environment to make it suitable for invoking another WSGI
application that is located at the target URI. For example, if there is a WSGI
application at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/foo</span></code>, and the request URI path is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/foo/bar/baz</span></code>, and the
WSGI application at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/foo</span></code> calls <a class="reference internal" href="#wsgiref.util.shift_path_info" title="wsgiref.util.shift_path_info"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">shift_path_info()</span></code></a>, it will receive the
string “bar”, and the environment will be updated to be suitable for passing to
a WSGI application at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/foo/bar</span></code>. That is, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SCRIPT_NAME</span></code> will change from
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/foo</span></code> to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/foo/bar</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PATH_INFO</span></code> will change from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/bar/baz</span></code> to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/baz</span></code>.</p>
<p>When <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PATH_INFO</span></code> is just a “/”, this routine returns an empty string and
appends a trailing slash to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SCRIPT_NAME</span></code>, even though empty path segments are
normally ignored, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SCRIPT_NAME</span></code> doesn’t normally end in a slash. This is
intentional behavior, to ensure that an application can tell the difference
between URIs ending in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/x</span></code> from ones ending in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/x/</span></code> when using this
routine to do object traversal.</p>

It
only supplies default values, and does not replace any existing settings for
these variables.</p>
<p>This routine is intended to make it easier for unit tests of WSGI servers and

<p>In addition to their mapping interface and formatting features, <a class="reference internal" href="#wsgiref.headers.Headers" title="wsgiref.headers.Headers"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Headers</span></code></a>
objects also have the following methods for querying and adding multi-valued
headers, and for adding headers with MIME parameters:</p>

<dd><p>Return a list of all the values for the named header.</p>
<p>The returned list will be sorted in the order they appeared in the original
header list or were added to this instance, and may contain duplicates. Any
fields deleted and re-inserted are always appended to the header list. If no
fields exist with the given name, returns an empty list.</p>
</dd></dl>

<dd><p>Add a (possibly multi-valued) header, with optional MIME parameters specified
via keyword arguments.</p>
<p><em>name</em> is the header field to add. Keyword arguments can be used to set MIME
parameters for the header field. Each parameter must be a string or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>.
Underscores in parameter names are converted to dashes, since dashes are illegal
in Python identifiers, but many MIME parameter names include dashes. If the
parameter value is a string, it is added to the header value parameters in the
form <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">name="value"</span></code>. If it is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>, only the parameter name is added.
(This is used for MIME parameters without a value.) Example usage:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">h</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">add_header</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'content-disposition'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'attachment'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">filename</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">'bud.gif'</span><span class="p">)</span>
