Sorry for my late answer. I wrote quite a bit code for the python web server on a weekend without having access to a notebook or desktop PC. When I finally tried to backup the code on my notebook via the USB connector, the python file containing my code wasn't readable anymore (I/O Errors).

Right now I'm waiting for my anger to fade away before restarting the project... But I learned my lesson and I won't write or exclusively store a single line of code on the 770.

I don't know that I would call a python http server "mini", at least as far as memory footprint and efficiency are concerned. If what you want is a lean and mean server for static content or a couple of cgi's, an ARM binary of boa or tinyhttpd or several others sounds like a better choice.
OTOH, if the goal is to write a local web app in python that is its own web server, using one of the lightweight web frameworks (like Karrigell or Snakelets), that is very convenient. I have one on my Zaurus that I use daily, need to try it out on the 770 someday.

Ooo, I'm sorry to hear that.

Can the code be read with the 770's editor (whatever you used to write the code to start with)? Was the code stored in the 770's RAM or on the RS-MMC card? I'm trying to decide how much to panic about my own 770. I'd hate to think that the onboard RAM is so unreliable.

I suppose you had the USB cable plugged directly into the desktop PC instead of into a USB hub? I had problems flashing the 50 update into my 770 until I did this. And if the code was on the RS-MMC card, have you tried using a desktop PC with a card reader?

Please don't be insulted, I know my suggestions are somewhat obvious, but I don't know how else to help.

I copied CGIHTTPServer.py in as well as BaseHTTPServer.py and SimpleHTTPServer.py. Then moved in wypy.py to make a wiki to
record my thoughts. Of course, I'd only have this running on my
home network behind a firewall

I managed to get MoinMoin v1.3.5 running on my Nokia 770 by adding *Server.py and cgi.py. I have MoinMoin & my wiki on the MMC card and used the installable Python2.4. I had to set full paths in moin.py & wikiconfig.py. I access it via opera using the DEFAULT connection. My only remaining bug is that for some reason [[BR]] is not recognized. All the other formatting commands that I have used seem to work. I will start digging through MoinMoin, but if anyone else has seen this I'd love to know.

Hi,

I try this solution on N800, and it's not OK.

The "dummy" internet access point has been created, and i can connect the tablet, Opera search localhost but don't find.

Have you got an idea ?

Thanks

One more way to get access to your localhost server:

1. tools > conntrol panel > connectivity "connections" button
2 "New" button, "Next button" type in Connection name you desire like "Dummy", option button WLAN, "Next" button.
3. Scan networks "No" button
4. SSID "Dummy", Network mode "Ad hoc", "Next" button, "Advancced" button
5. Checkbox check on Use Proxy, HttP proxy input 127.0.0.1, "OK" button, "Finish" button, "Done" button, "OK" button.

You all set. Now if you want to access your localhost, all you need to do is choose "Dummy" connection from your connections list.

Hope this helps,

Cheers :-)

wow, thanks vvaiman - great solution, just what i was looking for! =]
