Hi there - I want to customize the format of Zope's HTTP logs for a certain project, so, reading the code I can see that the log() method of medusa's http_request is used for this. In order to customize the log format, I can of course just edit http_server.py to change the http_request's log() method to do what I want, or alternately have code that defines a new log() method and then just changes medusa.http_server.http_request on startup (like, from z2.py). However, I was thinking that wouldn't it be nicer to be able to subclass http_request, say in ZServer/HTTPServer.py and customize the behavior of http_request that way...? It looks like the only things that would be affected would be a couple lines in medusa's http_channel class, where http_request is instantiated: ... r = http_request (self, request, None, None, None, join_h eaders(lines[1:])) r.error(400) return header = join_headers (lines[1:]) r = http_request (self, request, command, uri, version, header) ... Do you think it would be reasonable to change this to something similar to the way zhttp_channel/zhttp_server works, specifying request_class = zhttp_request and then changing the above request lines to call self.request_class instead? Then we can do (in HTTPServer.py): class zhttp_channel: ... request_class = zhttp_request class zhttp_request: def log(...) ... Which seems nicer to me. I guess this is really a request for a medusa change, is this a more appropriate topic for the medusa list? Does anyone else like this idea? --Brian Hooper Digital Garage, Inc.
