Sending a "GET /\0" causes a TypeEror to be raised and the connection to be unexpectedly closed. $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 $ printf "GET /\00" \| nc localhost 8000 TypeError: must be encoded string without NULL bytes, not str ---------------------------------------- I think raising a 400 error should be fine. Also, shouldn't the error message contain a repr(string)? [From http://corte.si/posts/code/pathod/pythonservers/index.html]
