Frontend CherryPy (in TurboGears) with CGIHTTPServer (py distr.)

Hi folks,

'am a newbiew to CP and TG... 'am attempting to create a
prototype app
(proof of concept)  quickly where I'd like to frontend
CherryPy (of TG)
with the simple HTTP1.1/CGI1.1 based CGIHTTPServer. While I
can see how
Lighttpd can be configured to do this, I couldn't find any
info on
using CGIHTTPServer ? Would like to keep the whole thing in
py-land
itself...

Can someone share pointers on this ?

TIA,
/venkat

I'm pretty sure you don't want to do this. While you can
likely coerce
TurboGears to run as a CGI, you won't be at all happy with
the
performance.

CherryPy includes a robust, performant server already. And
that
certainly keeps it all in py-land.

(If you run tg-admin quickstart to get a project going and
then run
the start-<yourproject>.py script, you're running
CherryPy's server.)

So, it looks like, if I want HTTP1.1 support (and not use
the bulky Apache) lighttpd (proxy to TG/CP) is pretty
much the best bet 

>From what I've read so far, CP's webserver only
supports
HTTP1.0. Would funneling all the 1.1reqs (coming into
lighttpd) as 1.0 reqs to CP, negatively affect thruput
to a significant extent ?

Also, I'm presuming if I want to enable HTTPS in lighttp
(via openssl), everything downstream (from lighttpd) will
fucntion unchaged... Is that assumption true... or would
some config need to be changed for CP/TG.

Thanks a lot for your help.
