Adding a shutdown flag to HttpServer for use in both blocking, non-blocking modes

[SteveHespelt]

Hi Joe,

I have a need for a HttpServer 'component' in various Python scripts, Jupyter notebooks, to handle incoming POSTs of XML and/or JSON, especially in a blocking 1-request only mode. So I did a quick search of existing PyPI packages, came across yours (picohttp), thought it would (with some minimal mods) meet my use cases quite well & without being too extensive for my simple use case. So I forked the project, made the changes, and added a few unittest based test files.

Hopefully you'll see some value in incorporating the changes? No offense if not.

I'm thinking of adding a simple pyproject.toml, to generate a wheel file so the use of rutifu is embedded in the resulting wheel's metadata... (since that's the only non-stdlib dependency). If you think that's useful, I can do so before any action is taken on this PR. I appreciate any suggestions, feedback as well.

Hope this PR finds you doing well. And thank you for creating picohttp. It will be useful.

Thanks for this PR. It looks like something I will probably add to the project, but I don't have time to review it just now.

Hi Joe, Thanks for considering it. I've added (but not yet pushed) a commit with the pyproject.toml working with recent build, packaging to get a wheel file. Didn't want to push until you have a chance to review, suggest a version (eg. 0.5.1 ?) for it. I've got a local devpi service I'll upload the wheel to for local usage. -steve Steven Hespelt SERC Software Engineer SERC M: 201-819-4815 [Stevens logo]<https://www.stevens.edu/> Inspired by Humanity, Powered by Technology(tm) Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/followstevens/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/FollowStevens> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/Stevens1870> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/EdwinAStevens70> From: jbuehl ***@***.***> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2025 11:25 AM To: jbuehl/picohttp ***@***.***> Cc: Steven Hespelt ***@***.***>; Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [jbuehl/picohttp] Adding a shutdown flag to HttpServer for use in both blocking, non-blocking modes (PR #1) CAUTION: This email originated from outside of Stevens.

I already have a pyproject.toml, however I am ignoring it with git, along with the dist/ and picohttp.egg-info/ directories that are involved in the PyPI distribution. I was unclear whether it belongs in the github repo or not. I think adding the rutifu dependency is a good idea though. I don't have much experience with this, so I don't know what the [tools.*] sections in your PR are for. Here's what I currently have:
